• Common gene expression signatures in Parkinson’s disease are driven by changes in cell composition 

      Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Dick, Fiona; Toker, Lilah; Petersen, Kjell; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Jonassen, Inge; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-21)
      The etiology of Parkinson’s disease is largely unknown. Genome-wide transcriptomic studies in bulk brain tissue have identified several molecular signatures associated with the disease. While these studies have the potential ...
    • Genome-wide histone acetylation analysis reveals altered transcriptional regulation in the Parkinson’s disease brain 

      Toker, Lilah; Tran, Gia T.; Sundaresan, Janani; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Nido, Gonzalo S.; Dölle, Christian; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, age-related neurodegenerative disorder of largely unknown etiology. PD is strongly associated with mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, which can lead to epigenetic ...
    • Mitochondrial complex I deficiency stratifies idiopathic Parkinson’s disease 

      Flønes, Irene; Toker, Lilah; Sandnes, Dagny Ann; Castelli, Martina Galatea; Mostafavi, Sepideh; Lura, Njål; Shadad, Omnia; Fernandez-Vizarra, Erika; Painous, Cèlia; Pérez-Soriano, Alexandra; Compta, Yaroslau; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Dölle, Christian; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD) is believed to have a heterogeneous pathophysiology, but molecular disease subtypes have not been identified. Here, we show that iPD can be stratified according to the severity of ...
    • A nationwide study of the incidence, prevalence and mortality of Parkinson’s disease in the Norwegian population 

      Brakedal, Brage; Toker, Lilah; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Epidemiological studies of Parkinson’s disease (PD) show variable and partially conflicting findings with regard to incidence, prevalence, and mortality. These differences are commonly attributed to technical and methodological ...
    • Not every estimate counts – evaluation of cell composition estimation approaches in brain bulk tissue data 

      Toker, Lilah; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-07)
      Background: Variation in cell composition can dramatically impact analyses in bulk tissue samples. A commonly employed approach to mitigate this issue is to adjust statistical models using estimates of cell abundance derived ...
