Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies of Parkinson's disease: 1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson’s disease. Snap-frozen human substantia nigras (SNs) of 16 individuals with a clinicopathological diagnosis of incidental Lewy body (ILB) disease with Lewy bodies detected in the brainstem nuclei of locus coeruleus and substantia nigra, but generally not in higher cortical regions consistent with Braak stage 3 criteria for Parkinson's disease (PD), and 17 age-, sex-, postmortem interval-, and RNA integrity number-matched controls, who were clinicopathologically within normal limits for age collected under the rapid-autopsy program of Sun Health Research Institute or by the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center at McLean Hospital, were used for gene expression analyses in stage 2. Protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
