Neurogenetics - Gene Sequencing

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
