Background: Recent findings from our group indicate that sex differences in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with idiopathic conditions or carrying pathogenic mutations significantly influence the blood occurrence of D and L-amino acids, lipids, antioxidants, and energy-related metabolites when ...
We investigated the cumulative contribution of rare, exonic genetic variants on the concentration of 1,487 metabolites and 53,714 metabolite ratios in urine by performing gene-based tests based on 226,233 variants from up to 4,864 participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD)...
Background Variants in the β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene are the commonest genetic risk factor for Parkinson Disease (PD). Here, we use mass spectrometry based metabolomics to analyse serum and sebum samples from 50 genotyped participants and find differences in lipid and sugar reg...
