Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders among older adults, yet its long-term impact on mortality within population-based cohorts remains insufficiently characterized. This study leverages data from the Neurological Disorders in Central Spain (NEDICES) cohort to provide a comprehensive 23-year mortality analysis in a Spanish population. In this prospective cohort study, 5278 individuals aged 65 years and older were evaluated across two waves: baseline (1994-1995) and follow-up (1997-1998).

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms, with a significant genetic component. Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), manifesting before age 45, is often linked to mutations in genes such as PARK2, PINK1, and PARK7, the latter coding for the protein DJ-1.

Objective: We present the first reported cases of EOPD carrying a previously undescribed homozygous PARK7 mutation, p.

Substantial evidence points to the early onset of peripheral inflammation in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), supporting the "body-first" hypothesis. However, there remains a notable absence of PD-specific animal models induced by inflammatory cytokines. This study introduces a novel mouse model of PD driven by the proinflammatory cytokine CXCL1, identified in our previous research.

The importance of nonmotor symptoms in understanding the pathogenesis of the heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease has been highlighted. However, the validation of specific brain network biomarkers in nonmotor symptom subtypes is currently lacking. By performing a new approach to compute functional connectivity with structural prior using magnetic resonance imaging, the present study computed both functional connectivity and fusional connectivity features in the nonmotor symptom subtypes of Parkinson's disease, one characterized by cognitive impairment with late onset and the other depression with early onset.

Biallelic intronic pentanucleotide repeat expansions, mainly (AAGGG)exp and/or (ACAGG)exp in RFC1, are detected in cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome, late-onset ataxia, and in a wide disease spectrum including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, multiple system atrophy, and Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the genotype-phenotype correlation and underlying mechanism are mostly unknown. We screened RFC1-repeat expansions in 1445 patients with parkinsonism.
