Genetic analysis of coding SNPs in blood-brain barrier transporter MDR1 in European Parkinson’s disease patients

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of intracytoplasmic inclusions (Lewy bodies). Iron, which is elevated in the substantia nigra of PD patients, seems to be of pivotal importance, because of its capacity to enhance the amplification of reactive oxygen species. As iron enters and exits the brain via transport proteins in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), these proteins may represent candidates for a genetic susceptibility to PD. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is o… Show more

“…Westerlund [215] showed that a 1236C/T, but not 2677G/T/A or 3435C/T increases the risk of PD in a Swedish population. The lack of a direct effect of the 3435T is supported by Funke et al [216] and Furano et al [217]. The 3435T polymorphism, however, is implicated as a contributing risk factor in the development of Parkinson’s disease when combined with exposure to pesticides [218, 219].…”

“…Up to date, 5 studies have investigated the link between ABCB1 1236C/T polymorphism and the risk of PD. Among them, 3 studies [ 18 , 27 , 28 ] indicated no relationship between this polymorphism and the susceptibility to the disease based on the populations of Poland, China, and Germany. The other 2 studies [ 26 , 29 ] found the positive association of ABCB1 1236C/T variant with PD risk.…”

“…Several studies examining associations between PD and polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene in European and Asian populations, without accounting for environmental exposures, reported inconsistent results (Funke et al, 2009; Furuno et al, 2002; Lee et al, 2004; Mizuta et al, 2006; Mizuta et al, 2008; Tan et al, 2005; Tan et al, 2004; Toda et al, 2003; Westerlund et al, 2009). An Italian hospital based case control study suggested an association between the TT genotype at rs1045642 and early onset (age<45) PD (Furuno et al, 2002).…”

“…A Polish population based case control study found suggestive evidence of a protective association between the 2677G-3435C haplotype (G allele at rs2032582 and C allele at rs1045642) and PD (Tan et al, 2004). A German clinic based case control study restricted to PD cases with increased iron content in the substantia nigra, found no association between 10 SNPs in ABCB1 and PD (Funke et al, 2009). A Swedish hospital based case control study found no association with PD for either rs1045642 or rs2032582 (Westerlund et al, 2009).…”
