Gene Sequencing
One of the most noticeable results of further research into neurogenetics is a greater knowledge of gene loci that show linkage to neurological diseases. The table below represents a sampling of specific gene locations identified to play a role in selected neurological diseases based on prevalence in the United States.
Gene Loci | Neurological Disease |
---|---|
APOE ε4, PICALM | Alzheimer's Disease |
DR15, DQ6 | Multiple Sclerosis |
LRRK2, PARK2, PARK7 | Parkinson's Disease |
HTT | Huntington's Disease |
