Epigenome-Wide Analysis of DNA Methylation in Parkinson's Disease Cortex

Oliver Kaut et al.

Summary: This study identified a small number of dysmethylated genes in the brains of Parkinson's disease patients, including the hypomethylation of CYP2E1, which was associated with increased protein levels. Furthermore, a group of genes associated with oxidative stress showed brain-specific changes.

Genome-wide DNA methylation differences in nucleus accumbens of smokers vs. nonsmokers

Christina A. Markunas et al.

Summary: This study identified several DNA methylation biomarkers of cigarette smoking in the postmortem human brain, focusing on the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Seven smoking-related CpG sites were identified, with four being novel for smoking-related DNA methylation changes. The findings offer insights into brain-specific responses to smoking exposure.

Heritability Enrichment Implicates Microglia in Parkinson's Disease Pathogenesis

Maren Stolp Andersen et al.

Summary: By studying immune and brain cell types, this research found a genetic enrichment of Parkinson's disease, particularly in microglia and monocytes. The results provide further support for the importance of immune mechanisms in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis and highlight microglial dysregulation as a contributing etiological factor. A targetable microglial gene has been nominated as a key player in the pathogenic process, with potential implications for future treatment in Parkinson's disease.

Genome sequencing analysis identifies new loci associated with Lewy body dementia and provides insights into its genetic architecture

Ruth Chia et al.

Summary: By conducting whole-genome sequencing and genetic analysis, researchers have identified common genetic risk factors and pathways shared between Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. This provides a deeper understanding of the complex genetic architecture of these age-related neurodegenerative conditions.

A meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in Alzheimer's disease highlights novel differentially methylated loci across cortex

Rebecca G. Smith et al.

Summary: Epigenome-wide association studies of Alzheimer's disease have identified DNA methylation differences associated with neuropathology, with 236 CpGs in the prefrontal cortex, 95 CpGs in the temporal gyrus, and ten CpGs in the entorhinal cortex being significant. Cross-cortex meta-analysis revealed 220 CpGs associated with neuropathology, annotated to 121 genes, with 84 genes not previously reported at this significance threshold.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation identifies shared associations across neurodegenerative disorders

Marta F. Nabais et al.

Summary: This study identified shared differentially methylated positions in whole blood between neurodegenerative disorders, indicating shared pathogenic mechanisms. Immune abnormalities caused by different neurodegenerative diseases may be interrelated to some extent.
