Article Synopsis
- Mitochondria play a role in Parkinson's disease, particularly in cognitive decline, but their impact on the disease's progression is still not fully understood.
- A study involving 4,064 Parkinson's patients found that certain mitochondrial haplogroups, specifically the super macro-haplogroup J, T, U, were linked to a 41% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to the H haplogroup.
- The research also identified a specific mitochondrial DNA variant (m.2706A>G) that slowed cognitive decline, while no significant relationship was found between mitochondrial haplogroups and motor progression.
