We used 500 melanized dopamine neurons isolated from post-mortem human substantia nigra pars compacta of each sample with laser capture microdissection. Total RNA was extracted with Arcturus PicoPure RNA extraction kit and amplified two times with Arcturus RiboAmp RNA amplification kit. the samples ...

To characterize how genetic variation influences the progression of Parkinson’s disease to dementia, which is a major determinant for quality of life, we performed a longitudinal genome-wide survival study (GWSS). Risk profile analysis was performed with a novel polygenic hazard score in longit...

This proposal brings together the two largest NIH funded genetic studies focused on the identification of novel genes that influence the risk of PD. These two studies, PROGENI (PI: Tatiana Foroud; R01NS037167) and GenePD (PI: Richard Myers; R01NS036711) have been evaluating and recruiti...
