Genome-wide association analysis of dementia and its clinical endophenotypes reveal novel loci associated with Alzheimer's disease and three causality networks: The GR@ACE project
(Elsevier Science INC, 2019-10)
Introduction: Large variability among Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases might impact genetic discoveries and complicate dissection of underlying biological pathways.
Methods: Genome Research at Fundacio ACE (GR@ACE) is a ...
Shedding light on motor premanifest myotonic dystrophy type 1: A molecular, muscular and central nervous system follow-up study
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Background and purpose
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a hereditary and multisystemic disease that is characterized by heterogeneous manifestations. Although muscular impairment is central to DM1, a premanifest DM1 ...
Leukocyte telomere length in patients with myotonic dystrophy type I: a pilot study
(Wiley, 2019-12)
Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disease of which clinical manifestations resemble premature aging. We evaluated the contribution of telomere length in pathogenesis in 361 DM1 patients (12 with ...
Senescence plays a role in myotonic dystrophy type 1 br
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2022-10)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1; MIM #160900) is an autosomal dominant disorder, clinically characterized by progressive muscular weakness and multisystem degeneration. The broad phenotypes observed in patients with DM1 ...
The Unexpected Co-Occurrence of GRN and MAPT p.A152T in Basque Families: Clinical and Pathological Characteristics
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-08)
Background
The co-occurrence of the c.709-1G > A GRN mutation and the p.A152T MAPT variant has been identified in 18 Basque families affected by frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We aimed to investigate the influence of ...
The MAPT H1 Haplotype Is a Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease in APOE ε4 Non-carriers
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-04)
An ancestral inversion of 900 kb on chromosome 17q21, which includes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene, defines two haplotype clades in Caucasians (H1 and H2). The H1 haplotype has been linked inconsistently ...
Blood miRNA expression pattern is a possible risk marker for natalizumab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in multiple sclerosis patients
(Sage, 2014-05-22)
Background: Natalizumab has shown its efficacy in reducing multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses and progression of disability; however, it has been associated with an increased risk of developing progressive multifocal ...
Age‐related cognitive decline in myotonic dystrophy type 1: An 11‐year longitudinal follow‐up study
(Wiley, 2020-03)
Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited multi-systemic disease involving the central nervous system (CNS) and is consequently characterized by a range of cognitive impairments. However, whether this ...
Dysautonomia and small fiber neuropathy in post-COVID condition and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
(BMC, 2023)
Background
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and post-COVID condition can present similarities such as fatigue, brain fog, autonomic and neuropathic symptoms.
Methods
The study included 87 ...
Oocyte electroporation prior to in vitro fertilization is an efficient method to generate single, double, and multiple knockout porcine embryos of interest in biomedicine and animal production
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Genetically modified pigs play a critical role in mimicking human diseases, xenotransplantation, and the development of pigs resistant to viral diseases. The use of programmable endonucleases, including the CRISPR/Cas9 ...
