Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of saliva samples in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and PD-free controls. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles. Samples included 128 PD patients and 131 controls with saliva DNA.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of whole blood and saliva samples in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and PD-free controls. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles. Samples included 335 PD patients and 237 controls with blood DNA.
Project description:As part of the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium, exomes of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and healthy controls were sequenced to study the genetic etiology of PD. This UK cohort consists of 70 PD patients. Researchers can apply for access to fastq files for this cohort.

This UK cohort consists of 70 PD patients. Researchers can apply for access to fastq, vcf and binary plink files for this cohort.
Project description:To investigate transcriptomic changes associated with Parkinson's disease development we compared frontal cortex gene expression across four Braak Lewy body stage groups. Additionally we investigated sex-specific gene expression differences in neuropathologically healthy donors and Parkinson's disease patients at Braak Lewy body stage 5. We investigated sex-specific gene expression differences in neuropathologically healthy donors and Parkinson's disease patients at Braak Lewy body stage 5.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation association analysis of Parkinson's disease and control samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in blood samples. Samples included 1001 Parkinson's disease cases and 973 controls.
Project description:Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson's disease. Examination of substantia nigra from postmortem brains of 8 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying Parkinson's disease Experiment Overall Design: Substantia nigra tissue from postmortem brain of normal and Parkinson disease patients were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays: 9 replicates for the controls and 16 replicates for the Parkinson's disease patients were used. Both cohorts included males and females.
