Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Coffee Consumption Is Associated With Later Age‐at‐Onset of Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Observation studies suggest that coffee consumption may lower the risk and delay the age‐at‐onset (AAO) of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to explore the causal relationship and genetic association between coffee consumption and the AAO, risk, and progression of PD. Using Mendelian randomization, we identified a significant
