Newly Identified Gene Mutation Linked to Parkinson's: Single 'Spelling Mistake' Affects Mechanism for Converting a Cell's Genetic Code Into Proteins
September 8, 2011 — Scientists have discovered a new gene responsible for Parkinson's disease. The mutation, a single "spelling mistake" among three billion nucleotides in DNA, regulates the mechanism for converting a ... > full storyMore: -
New Target for Treating Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
September 8, 2011 — A scientist has identified how the lack of a brain chemical known as dopamine can rewire the interaction between two groups of brain cells and lead to symptoms of Parkinson's disease. This discovery ... > full story -
Exact Brain Electrode Placement for Parkinson’s Patients Now Possible; Research Opens the Way to More Precise Deep Brain Stimulation
September 7, 2011 — Deep brain stimulation stops limb tremors in Parkinson's patients. But positioning the stimulation electrode in the brain must be done very precisely to avoid undesired side-effects. To make this ... > full story -
Genetic Variation Found to Protect Against Parkinson's Disease
August 30, 2011 — Neuroscientists have found a genetic variation they say protects against Parkinson's disease. The study also reports the discovery of different variants of the same gene, LRRK2 -- the most important ... > full story
