Association Studies of MMP-9 in Parkinson’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
TL;DR: Results show a significant association between the C(−1562)T polymorphism in the MMP-9 gene and risk of PD as well as risk of sALS, supporting a role for M MP-9 polymorphisms in the risk for PD and sALS.
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Depression and Anxiety in Essential Tremor Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in Southwest China.
Hongyan Huang,Xinglong Yang,Quanzhen Zhao,Yalan Chen,Pingping Ning,Qiuyan Shen,Hui Wang,Ran An,Yanming Xu +8 more
TL;DR: Chinese ET patients show high prevalence of depression and anxiety, especially women and those with cranial tremor and self-reported functional disability, and should be screened for these mental symptoms.
Mutational scanning of the CHCHD2 gene in Han Chinese patients with Parkinson’s disease and meta-analysis of the literature
TL;DR: The results suggest that CHCHD2 exonic variants are rare among Chinese patients with PD, and meta-analysis of the literature suggests that p.Pro2Leu variants are associated with sporadic disease, particularly in Asian populations.
