    Gene expression meta-analysis of Parkinson’s disease and its relationship with Alzheimer’s disease

    Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are the most common neurodegenerative diseases and have been suggested to share common pathological and physiological links. Understanding the cross-talk b...

    Exome sequencing in an Italian family with Alzheimer’s disease points to a role for seizure-related gene 6 (SEZ6) rare variant R615H

    The typical familial form of Alzheimer’s disease (FAD) accounts for about 5% of total Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases. Presenilins (PSEN1 and PSEN2) and amyloid-β (A4) precursor protein (APP) genes carry all repor...
