A recent study analyzed the psychological impact of receiving genetic test results and satisfaction with genetic counseling among 875 individuals with PD or at risk for PD. 10 Individuals with a pathogenic variant in LRRK2 or GBA were found to have increased adverse psychological reactions of distress and uncertainty after testing positive. 10 ...

30 cze 2021 · The genetic landscape of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterised by rare high penetrance pathogenic variants causing familial disease, genetic risk factor variants driving PD risk in a significant minority in PD cases and high frequency, low penetrance variants, which contribute a small increase of the risk of developing sporadic PD.
30 mar 2022 · The genetics of Parkinson’s disease is complex, and risk cannot be determined by looking at the presence or absence of a single gene. Genetic testing for Parkinson’s emerged in the 2000s after the identification of the first known disease-causing variants.
4 lis 2019 · Currently, genetic testing in PD is not standard of care, but may be useful in certain cases for prognosis estimation and referral to clinical trials. Since referral to genetic testing is not a common practice, in most cases, neither patients nor their clinicians are aware of the patients’ pathogenic variant status.
