    • Differential transcript usage in the Parkinson’s disease brain 

      Dick, Fiona; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Nilsen, Gry Hilde; Dölle, Christian; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Studies of differential gene expression have identified several molecular signatures and pathways associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The role of isoform switches and differential transcript usage (DTU) remains, ...
    • Genome-wide histone acetylation analysis reveals altered transcriptional regulation in the Parkinson’s disease brain 

      Toker, Lilah; Tran, Gia T.; Sundaresan, Janani; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Nido, Gonzalo S.; Dölle, Christian; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)
      Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, age-related neurodegenerative disorder of largely unknown etiology. PD is strongly associated with mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, which can lead to epigenetic ...
    • Meta-analysis of whole-exome sequencing data from two independent cohorts finds no evidence for rare variant enrichment in Parkinson disease associated loci 

      Gaare, Johannes Jernqvist; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Dölle, Christian; Sztromwasser, Pawel Szymon; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)
      Parkinson disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. While genome wide association studies have identified several susceptibility loci, many causal variants ...
    • Ultra-deep whole genome bisulfite sequencing reveals a single methylation hotspot in human brain mitochondrial DNA 

      Guitton, Romain Guillaume Bernard; Dölle, Christian; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Nido, Gonzalo Sanchez; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      While DNA methylation is established as a major regulator of gene expression in the nucleus, the existence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation remains controversial. Here, we characterized the mtDNA methylation landscape ...
