Etiology
Etiology The exact etiology of hereditary LOPD is still unknown but mutations in the genes SNCA (4q21.3-q22), LRRK2 (12q12), and VPS35 (16q12) have been implicated in its pathogenesis. [orpha.net]
Both genetic and environmental etiologies share a common pathogenic pathway. Pharmacological Intervention The main motor features that are characteristic of PD are mainly due to the loss of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway. [tocris.com]
An extensive diagnostic workup was performed, including fluorescein angiography, serologic testing for infectious etiologies including syphilis and tuberculosis and a temporal artery biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Therapeutics aimed at modifying and effecting Lrrk2 or alpha-synuclein are etiologically sensible and rational and there can be little doubt that more rational drug design against etiologic targets will be forthcoming; however, unfortunately, even effective [content.iospress.com]
