    Abstract Breakthroughs in genetics over the last decade have radically advanced our understanding of the etiological basis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although much research remains to be done, the main genetic causes of this neurodegenerative disorder are now partially unraveled, allowing us to feel more confident that our knowledge about the genetic architecture of PD will continue to increase exponentially. How and when these discoveries will be introduced into general clinical practice, however, remains uncertain. In this review, we provide a general summary of the progress in the genetics of PD and discuss how this knowledge will contribute to the diagnosis and clinical management of patients with, or at risk of this disorder.

    Abstract A circular-transcriptome-wide study has recently linked differential expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in brain tissue with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed at replicating the major findings in an independent series of sporadic and familial AD. We also included cases with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), comprising brain specimens with TDP-43 aggregates (FTLD-TDP43) and samples that presented Tau accumulation (FTLD-Tau). Using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction approach, we evaluated 8 circRNAs that surpassed the significant threshold in the former meta-analysis (circHOMER1, circDOCK1, circFMN1, circKCNN2, circRTN4, circMAN2A1, circMAP7, and circPICALM). Average expression changes between patients with AD and controls followed the same directions as previously reported. We also confirmed an exacerbated alteration in circRNA expression in the familial AD group compared with the sporadic forms. Two circRNAs (circHOMER1 and circKCNN2) also showed significant expression alterations in the group of FTLD-Tau and FTLD-TDP43, respectively. Overall, these results reinforce the conception that expression of circRNAs is different in AD, and also suggest a wider involvement of this particular class of RNA in other neurodegenerative dementias.

    Abstract Molecular genetics has been an invaluable tool to help understand the molecular basis of neurodegenerative dementias. In this review, we provide an overview of the genetic architecture underlying some of the most prevalent causes of dementia, including Alzheimer's dementia, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Lewy body dementia, and prion diseases. We also discuss the complexity of the human genome and how the novel technologies have revolutionized and accelerated the way we screen the variety of our DNA. Finally, we also provide some examples about how this genetic knowledge is being transferred into the clinic through personalized medicine. This article is part of the special issue entitled 'The Quest for Disease-Modifying Therapies for Neurodegenerative Disorders'.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, is a complex disorder in which genetic and environmental factors interact. Three genes -the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the presenilin 1 and 2 (PSEN1 and PSEN2)- have been linked to autosomal dominant forms of AD. Besides, a fourth gene -the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE)- seems to be the only major genetic factor related to late-onset sporadic and familial AD cases. Although more than a thousand studies have been performed to date, little is known about other genetic factors leading to this devastating dementia. Nevertheless, the last three years have witnessed a surge in genetic research of AD due to the implementation of novel technologies enabling large-scale genetic analyses. CONCLUSION. This review provides a summary of current knowledge about AD in the genetic field.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) H1 homozygosity (H1/H1 haplotype) is a genetic risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). MAPT H1 homozygosity has been associated with conversion to PD; however, results are conflicting since some studies did not find a strong influence. Cortical hypometabolism is associated with cognitive impairment in PD. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the metabolic pattern in nondemented PD patients MAPT H1/H1 carriers in comparison with MAPT H1/H2 haplotype. In addition, we evaluated domain-specific cognitive differences according to MAPT haplotype.
    Methods: We compared a group of 26 H1/H1 and 20 H1/H2 carriers with late-onset PD. Participants underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological cognitive evaluation and a [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET-MR scan.
    Results: MAPT H1/H1 carriers showed worse performance in the digit span forward test of attention compared to MAPT H1/H2 carriers. In the [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET comparisons, MAPT H1/H1 displayed hypometabolism in the frontal cortex, parahippocampal, and cingulate gyrus, as well as in the caudate and globus pallidus.
    Conclusion: PD patients MAPT H1/H1 carriers without dementia exhibit relative hypometabolism in several cortical areas as well as in the basal ganglia, and worse performance in attention than MAPT H1/H2 carriers. Longitudinal studies should assess if lower scores in attention and dysfunction in these areas are predictors of dementia in MAPT H1/H1 homozygotes.

    Abstract We present the clinical and neuropathological findings of a patient with early onset Alzheimer's dementia (AD), heterozygous carrier of the rare Apolipoprotein E Christchurch (APOEch) variant. The patient did not harbor any pathogenic mutation in known Mendelian genes related to AD or other neurodegenerative disorders. A sibling of this patient, also carrying the APOEch variant, developed AD at the age of 66 years old. Our data suggest a possible deleterious effect of this variant, which contrast with the protective role that has been previously shown in a subject homozygous for the APOEch with he Paisa PSEN1 mutation.

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease for which the pathophysiological mechanisms of motor neuron loss are not precisely clarified. Environmental and epigenetic mechanisms such as microRNAs (miRNAs) could have a role in disease progression. We studied the expression pattern of miRNAs in ALS serum from 60 patients and 29 healthy controls. We also analyzed how deregulated miRNAs found in serum affected cellular pathways such as apoptosis, autophagy and mitochondrial physiology in SH-SY5Y cells. We found that miR-335-5p was downregulated in ALS serum. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with a specific inhibitor of miR-335-5p and showed abnormal mitochondrial morphology, with an increment of reactive species of oxygen and superoxide dismutase activity. Pro-apoptotic caspases-3 and 7 also showed an increased activity in transfected cells. The downregulation of miR-335-5p, which has an effect on mitophagy, autophagy and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells could have a role in the motor neuron loss observed in ALS.

    Abstract We report the neuropathological examination of a patient with Alzheimer's disease (AD) treated for 38 months with low doses of the BACE-1 inhibitor verubecestat. Brain examination showed small plaque size, reduced dystrophic neurites around plaques and reduced synaptic-associated Aβ compared with a group of age-matched untreated sporadic AD (SAD) cases. Our findings suggest that BACE-1 inhibition has an impact on synaptic soluble Aβ accumulation and neuritic derangement in AD.
