UCLA researchers ID gene variants that speed progression of Parkinson's disease
Public release date: 15-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Enrique Rivero erivero@mednet.ucla.edu 310-794-2273 University of California – Los Angeles Health Sciences UCLA researchers may have found a key to determining which Parkinson’s disease patients will experience a more rapid decline in motor function, sparking hopes for the development of new therapies and helping identify those who could benefit most from early intervention. In a study published May 15 in the peer-reviewed online journal PLoS ONE, the researchers found that Parkinson’s sufferers who possess two specific variants of a gene known to be a risk factor for the disease had a significantly speedier progression toward motor decline than patients without these variants. “This is a relatively small study, with 233 patients, but the effects we’re seeing are actually quite large,” said Dr. Continue reading
