• Association of a BACE1 gene polymorphism with Parkinson’s disease in a Norwegian population 

      Lange, Johannes; Lunde, Kristin Aaser; Sletten, Camilla Johanne; Møller, Simon Geir; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido; Larsen, Jan Petter; Maple-Grødem, Jodi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11)
      Background . Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) share pathological features, including amyloid-beta pathology. Amyloid-beta peptide is generated by sequential proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein ...
    • Defective mitochondrial DNA homeostasis in the substantia nigra in Parkinson disease 

      Dölle, Christian; Flønes, Irene Hana; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Miletic, Hrvoje; Osuagwu, Nelson; Kristoffersen, Stine; Lilleng, Peer Kåre; Larsen, Jan Petter; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Bindoff, Laurence; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-11)
      Increased somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutagenesis causes premature aging in mice, and mtDNA damage accumulates in the human brain with aging and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson disease (PD). Here, we ...

    • The GBA variant E326K is associated with Parkinson's disease and explains a genome-wide association signal 

      Berge-Seidl, Victoria; Pihlstrøm, Lasse; Maple-Grødem, Jodi; Forsgren, Lars; Linder, Jan; Larsen, Jan Petter; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Toft, Harald Mathias Strøm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-09)
      Objective Coding variants in the GBA gene have been identified as the numerically most important genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ...
