    • Early constipation predicts faster dementia onset in Parkinson's disease 

      Camacho, Marta; Macleod, Angus D.; Grødem, Jodi Maple; Evans, Jonathan R.; Breen, David P.; Cummins, G; Wijeyekoon, Ruwani; Greenland, Julia; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Lawson, Rachel A.; Barker, Roger A.; Williams-Gray, Caroline H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Constipation is a common but not a universal feature in early PD, suggesting that gut involvement is heterogeneous and may be part of a distinct PD subtype with prognostic implications. We analysed data from the Parkinson’s ...
    • GBA and APOE Impact Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease: A 10-Year Population-Based Study 

      Szwedo, Aleksandra Anna; Dalen, Ingvild; Pedersen, Kenn Freddy; Camacho, Marta; Bäckström, David; Forsgren, Lars; Tzoulis, Charalampos; Winder-Rhodes, Sophie; Hudson, Gavin; Liu, Ganqiang; Scherzer, Clemens R.; Lawson, Rachael A.; Yarnall, Alison J.; Williams-Gray, Caroline H.; Macleod, Angus D.; Counsell, Carl E.; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido Werner; Maple-Grødem, Jodi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: Common genetic variance in apolipoprotein E (APOE), β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA), microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), and α-synuclein (SNCA) has been linked to cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD), ...
    • Lack of Association Between GBA Mutations and Motor Complications in European and American Parkinson’s Disease Cohorts 

      Grødem, Jodi Maple; Paul, Kimberly C.; Dalen, Ingvild; Ngo, Kathie J.; Wong, Darice; Macleod, Angus D.; Counsell, Carl E.; Bäckström, David; Forsgren, Lars; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Kusters, Cynthia D.J.; Fogel, Brent L.; Bronstein, Jeff M.; Ritz, Beate; Alves, Guido Werner (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Motor complications are a consequence of the chronic dopaminergic treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and include levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LIDs) and motor fluctuations (MF). Currently, evidence is on ...
