Project description:Transcriptional analysis of multiple brain regions in Parkinson's disease supports the involvement of specific protein processing, energy metabolism, and signaling pathways, and suggests novel disease mechanisms. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE20168: Transcriptional analysis of prefrontal area 9 in Parkinson's disease GSE20291: Transcriptional analysis of putamen in Parkinson's disease GSE20292: Transcriptional analysis of whole substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease Refer to individual Series
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: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:Human volunteers (N=143; 98 females and 45 males; aged 18-45 years) consumed one litre of blueberry-apple juice per day for four weeks. Before and after the intervention blood was drawn and lymphocytes were isolated for subsequent RNA isolation. Each participant acted as his own control. Each subject acted as his own control, meaning that the fluorescent labeled cRNAs of each subject before and after the intervention were mixed and hybridized on one chip. To rule out any possible dye effect, samples from each subject before and after the intervention were randomly labeled with Cy3 and Cy5.
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.
