MRI Signs of Parkinson’s Disease and Atypical Parkinsonism [PDF]
Background Diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism is based on clinical evaluation of the patient’s symptoms and on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, which can be supplemented by nuclear medicine techniques. MRI plays a leading role in the differentiation between Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism.

Atypical parkinsonism-associated retromer mutant alters endosomal sorting of specific cargo proteins [PDF]
The retromer complex acts as a scaffold for endosomal protein complexes that sort integral membrane proteins to various cellular destinations. The retromer complex is a heterotrimer of VPS29, VPS35, and VPS26.

Clinical Application of Brain MRI in the Diagnostic Work-up of Parkinsonism
Background: Differentiating Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism on clinical parameters is challenging, especially in early disease courses. This is due to large overlap in symptoms and because the so called red flags, i.e.

DJ-1 interacts with and regulates paraoxonase-2, an enzyme critical for neuronal survival in response to oxidative stress. [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations in DJ-1 (PARK7) gene account for about 1% of all familial Parkinson's disease (PD). While its physiological function(s) are not completely clear, DJ-1 protects neurons against oxidative stress in both in vitro and in vivo ...
