Co-occurrence of PRKN and SYNJ1 variants in Early-Onset Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease globally, with a fast-growing prevalence. The etiology of PD exhibits a multifactorial complex nature and remains challenging. Herein, we described clinical, molecular, and integrative bioinformatics findings from a Brazilian female affected by Early-Onset PD (EOPD) harboring a recurrent homozygous pathogenic deletion in the parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase gene (PRKN; NM_004562.

Exploring the interplay between metabolomics and genetics in Parkinson's disease: Insights from ongoing research and future avenues.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder, whose complex aetiology remains under construction. While rare variants have been associated with the monogenic PD form, most PD cases are influenced by multiple genetic and environmental aspects. Nonetheless, the pathophysiological pathways and molecular networks involved in monogenic/idiopathic PD overlap, and genetic variants are decisive in elucidating the convergent underlying mechanisms of PD.

Empagliflozin Alleviates Left Ventricle Hypertrophy in High-Fat-Fed Mice by Modulating Renin Angiotensin Pathway.

. The cardiobenefits of empagliflozin are multidimensional, and some mechanisms are still unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with empagliflozin on biometric parameters and gene expression in the local cardiac RAS, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum pathways in a mouse model.
