While much progress has been made, most of the heritability remains unknown. This is in-part because previous genetic studies have focused on the contribution of single nucleotide variants. More complex forms of variation, such as structural variants and tandem repeats, are already associated with several synucleinopathies. However, because more sophisticated sequencing methods are usually required to detect these regions, little is understood regarding their contribution to PD. One example is a polymorphic CT-rich region in intron 4 of the SNCA gene. This haplotype has been suggested to be associated with risk of Lewy Body (LB) pathology in Alzheimer's Disease and SNCA gene expression, but is yet to be investigated in PD. Here, we attempt to resolve this CT-rich haplotype and investigate its role in PD. We performed targeted PacBio HiFi sequencing of the region in 1375 PD cases and 959 controls. We replicate the previously reported associations and a novel association between two PD risk SNVs (rs356182 and rs5019538) and haplotype 4, the largest haplotype. Through quantitative trait locus analyzes we identify a significant haplotype 4 association with alternative CAGE transcriptional start site usage, not leading to significant differential SNCA gene expression in post-mortem frontal cortex brain tissue. Therefore, disease association in this locus might not be biologically driven by this CT-rich repeat region. Our data demonstrates the complexity of this SNCA region and highlights that further follow up functional studies are warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":19706,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Parkinson's Disease","volume":"10 1","pages":"136"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11282088/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141767010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recessive loss-of-function mutations in ATP13A2, a lysosomal transmembrane P5_B-type ATPase and polyamine exporter, can cause early-onset familial PD. Familial ATP13A2 mutations are also linked to related neurodegenerative diseases, including Kufor-Rakeb syndrome, hereditary spastic paraplegias, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Despite the severe effects of ATP13A2 mutations in humans, ATP13A2 knockout (KO) mice fail to exhibit neurodegeneration even at advanced ages, making it challenging to study the neuropathological effects of ATP13A2 loss in vivo. Germline deletion of ATP13A2 in rodents may trigger the upregulation of compensatory pathways during embryonic development that mask the full neurotoxic effects of ATP13A2 loss in the brain. To explore this idea, we selectively deleted ATP13A2 in the adult mouse brain by the unilateral delivery of an AAV-Cre vector into the substantia nigra of young adult mice carrying conditional loxP-flanked ATP13A2 KO alleles. We observe a progressive loss of striatal dopaminergic nerve terminals at 3 and 10 months after AAV-Cre delivery. Cre-injected mice also exhibit robust dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in the substantia nigra at 10 months. Adult-onset ATP13A2 KO also recreates many of the phenotypes observed in aged germline ATP13A2 KO mice, including lysosomal abnormalities, p62-positive inclusions, and neuroinflammation. Our study demonstrates that the adult-onset homozygous deletion of ATP13A2 in the nigrostriatal pathway produces robust and progressive dopaminergic neurodegeneration that serves as a useful in vivo model of ATP13A2-related neurodegenerative diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":19706,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Parkinson's Disease","volume":"10 1","pages":"133"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11271504/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141727518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, there are still very limited options on how to visualize, analyze, and exploit the full potential of the sensing data from these new DBS neurostimulators. To answer this need, we developed a free open-source toolbox, named DBScope, that imports data from neurostimulation devices and can be operated in two ways: via user interface and programmatically, as a library of functions. In this way, it can be used by both clinicians during clinical sessions (for instance, to visually inspect data from the current or previous in-clinic visits), and by researchers in their research pipelines (e.g., for pre-processing, feature extraction and biomarker search). All in all, the DBScope toolbox is set to facilitate the clinical decision-making process and the identification of clinically relevant biomarkers.
