Degradation of alpha-synuclein/SNCA mRNA by RNautophagy
Neurochemistry Internationalα-Synuclein is a neuronal protein and main component of Lewy bodies, the pathological hallmark of Lewy body diseases such as Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. While the accumulation of α-synuclein in neurons is implicated in the pathogenesis of these disorders, the mechanisms underlying α-synuclein mRNA degradation remain poorly ...

Genetic variants and animal models in SNCA and Parkinson disease
Ageing Research Reviews, 2014Parkinson disease (PD; MIM 168600) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a variety of motor and non-motor features. To date, at least 20 loci and 15 disease-causing genes for parkinsonism have been identified. Among them, the α-synuclein (SNCA) gene was associated with PARK1/PARK4.

SNCA polymorphisms, smoking, and sporadic Parkinson’s disease in Japanese
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2012Several case-control studies and genome-wide association studies have examined the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SNCA gene and Parkinson's disease (PD), and have provided inconsistent results. We investigated the relationships between SNPs rs356229, rs356219, rs356220, rs7684318, and rs2736990 and the risk of ...

Association of Alcohol Craving With α‐Synuclein (SNCA)
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2007Background: Studies have found that genomic variation in the gene SNCA, which encodes the protein α‐synuclein, may contribute to the variation in alcohol consumption in an inbred rat model of alcohol preference. Studies in humans have provided support for an association between SNCA and craving for alcohol.Methods: To examine the role of this gene in

Expanding the clinical phenotype of SNCA duplication carriers
Movement Disorders, 2009AbstractSNCA duplication is a recognized cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to explore the genetic and clinical variability in the disease manifestation. Molecular characterization was performed using real‐time PCR, SNP arrays, and haplotype analysis.
