Genetic Predisposition to Parkinson’s Disease and Cancer

Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2014
Parkinson's disease (PD) and cancer are often thought of as two sides of the same coin. At first glance, cancer and PD appear to have little in common. PD is caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, whereas cancer results from the uninhibited growth of tumor cells. Increasing numbers of genetic studies suggest that the pathogenesis of PD and

GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DRUG-INDUCED LIVER DISEASE

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1995
Rarely do otherwise safe drugs administered at recommended doses produce liver damage that may progress to liver failure and death. Because we are generally unable to identify the patients most susceptible to this "idiosyncratic" form of toxicity, many potentially useful medications are not made available to patients. The most promising developments in

Genetic predisposition to environmental induced diseases

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1997
It is argued that genetic predispositions to environmentally induced illness are common in the general population. Yet, despite this, recognition assessment of the nature and magnitude of such predispositions has generally not been the object of environmental health research.
