A major barrier to research on Parkinson’s disease (PD) is inaccessibility of diseased tissue for study. One solution is to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with PD and differentiate them into neurons affected by disease. We created an iPSC model of PD caused by triplicati...

Epidemiological studies have estimated a cumulative prevalence of PD of greater than 1 per thousand. When prevalence is limited to senior populations, this proportion increases nearly 10-fold. The estimated genetic risk ratio for PD is approximately 1.7 (70% increased risk for PD if a sibling...

A novel missense mutation has been identified in a human pain-insensitive family in the gene ZFHX2. We modelled this mutation in mice by changing the orthologous amino acid and carried out pain behaviour tests in mutant BAC transgenic mice. These showed a phenotype of hyposensitivity to noxious ther...
