Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: Comprehensive Report Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Research has shown that at least seven genes (LRRK2, GBA1, PRKN, SNCA, PINK1, PARK7, VPS35) are directly related to the occurr...
Cascading Pattern in Genetic Risk Research for Alzheimer’s Disease Background and Research Motivation Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of two pathological features: amyloid plaques and phosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. These pathological features typically exist ...
Biallelic Variants in SNUPN Cause a Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with Myofibrillar Features Academic Background Muscular dystrophies are a complex and heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to loss of muscle fibers. Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMD) are a subtype primarily...
Research Background With global population aging, the number of lung resection surgeries has increased significantly, including primary lung cancer resection, removal of lung metastases, and surgeries to treat lung infections or emphysema. However, little is known about the systemic stress response after thoracic surgery and interventions to improv...
A2A Adenosine Receptor Exacerbates Synaptic Loss and Memory Deficits in APP/PS1 Mice Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with progressive cognitive decline, characterized by the deposition of extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein in neurons. Some epidemiological ...
