SNCA Is a Functionally Low-Expressed Gene in Lung Adenocarcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2018
There is increasing evidence for the contribution of synuclein alpha (SNCA) to the etiology of neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

A Novel SNCA A30G Mutation Causes Familial Parkinsonʼs Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, 2021
Background The SNCA gene encoding α‐synuclein (αSyn) is the first gene identified to cause autosomal‐dominant Parkinsonʼs disease (PD). Objective We report the identification of a novel heterozygous A30G mutation of the SNCA gene in familial PD and ...

The effect of SNCA 3′ region on the levels of SNCA-112 splicing variant [PDF]

open access: yesNeurogenetics, 2010
Genetic variability at the 3' region of SNCA locus has been repeatedly associated with susceptibility to sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Accumulated evidence emphasizes the importance of SNCA dosage and expression levels in PD pathogenesis. However, the mechanism through which the 3' region of SNCA gene modulates the risk to develop sporadic PD ...

Exacerbated synucleinopathy in mice expressing A53T SNCA on a Snca null background

Neurobiology of Aging, 2005
Alpha-Synuclein is a major component of Lewy bodies, neuronal inclusions diagnostic for Parkinson's disease (PD). While an Ala53Thr mutation in alpha-synuclein can cause PD in humans, in mice the wildtype residue at position 53 is threonine, indicating that mice are either too short-lived to develop PD, or are protected by the six other amino acid ...

SNCA REP1 and Parkinson’s disease

Neuroscience Letters, 2018
REP1 is a polymorphic dinucleotide repeat sequence located in the promoter region of the SNCA gene (OMIM 163890). Opinions regarding the interaction between the various REP1 alleles and Parkinson's disease (PD) or its phenotypes have been inconsistent and have thus far not been comprehensively analyzed.

Hypomethylation of SNCA in blood of patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2014
SNCA is a pathogenic gene identified in rare familial PD, and over-expression of SNCA was suggested in the pathogenesis of familial and sporadic PD. Rep1 polymorphism of SNCA was associated with susceptibility to sporadic PD and SNCA expression in intro and in vivo.

Up-regulation of SNCA gene expression: implications to synucleinopathies [PDF]

open access: yesNeurogenetics, 2016
Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases that share a common pathological lesion of intracellular protein inclusions largely composed by aggregates of alpha-synuclein protein. Accumulating evidence, including genome wide association studies, has implicated alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene in the etiology of synucleinopathies. However, the

Genetic variability in SNCA and Parkinson’s disease

neurogenetics, 2011
Over the last decades, increasing knowledge about the genetic architecture of Parkinson's disease has provided novel insights into the pathogenesis of the disorder, generating hypotheses for further research. Characterizing the role of SNCA, encoding the α-synuclein protein, has been a particularly important aspect of this development.

The link between the SNCA gene and parkinsonism

Neurobiology of Aging, 2015
The groundbreaking discovery of mutations in the SNCA gene in a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD) has revolutionized our basic understanding of the etiology of PD and other related disorders. Genome-wide Association Studies has demonstrated a wide array of single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the increasing risk of developing ...

A53T in a parkinsonian family: a clinical update of the SNCA phenotypes

Journal of Neural Transmission, 2016
Approximately 15 % of PD patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) have the familial type and 5-10 % of these are known to have monogenic forms with either an autosomal dominant or a recessive inheritance pattern. Here, we report on a family carrying the A53T SNCA mutation and we review SNCA mutation phenotypes by comparing point mutations within each other
