Whole exomes for a set of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) were sequenced to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using MAX3 test to find novel genomic variants associated with the disease. As a result, several new variants were identified.

Looks quite very interesting… I have a few questions. The first question is how correct is it to use the germline cells to look for the SNPs associated with neurogenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease? The second is where are SNPs that you found as associated with PD located inside KCNJ12 (introns, exons or promoter, I mean)? And could you say that “the change of KCNJ12 protein could be involved in PD…” means?

Thanks for interesting qustions!
We used blood to extract DNA from it, cause it easy to find some first signs. It will be better to used subsantia nigra tissue, but we will take only “post mortem”. So we don’t have opportunities nowadays to find somatic SNPs exactly in brain tissues. Beside this progression of PD starts for decades before first clinical trail and peoples with PD-diagnosis very often has family history. Thats why we check germline SNPs first.
All 3 SNPs marked as probably associated with PD were missense and located in exons.
“the change of KCNJ12 protein could be involved in PD…” means that we found some literature, that make some connection between KCNJ12 and PD. Also KCNJ12 have expression in brain tissuies. And alteration in potassium canals could be involved in neural cells death.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 63. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability,My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing and soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit www . healthherbsclinic . com , After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!

I was diagnosed 2011. i was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. My symptoms progressed quickly. Soon i was having difficulty breathing, swallowing and even walking short distances. With the help of Health Herbs Clinic natural herbs I have been able to reverse my symptoms using diet, herbs, which i feel has made the most difference. The Parkinson’s natural formula immensely helped my condition, it reversed my Parkinson’s. my slurred speech, then the tremors, and mobility gradually disappeared, even my handwriting is getting better visit their website at healthherbsclinic . com people are suffering from this horrible disease due to lack of information.

I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex,and then dopamine  for my Parkinson disease, as the disease progressed they didn’t help much. A year ago I started on PD TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Aknni Herbs Centre (http://www.aknniherbscentre.com). One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery, my symptoms were gone including tremors . It’s been months since I completed the treatment, I am symptom free and I live a very productive life all thanks to Aknni herbs centre !!!
