Are LRRK2 p.G2019S or GBA1 variants associated with long-term outcomes of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease? Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 124:106008. [PMID: 38242744 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment option for individuals with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The potential influence of the LRRK2 p.G2019S or GBA1 variants on its lasting efficacy and adverse effects should be better characterized. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center case-control study involving PD patients who were carriers of a GBA1 variant (GBA1-PD), the LRRK2 p.G2019S variant (LRRK2-PD), and non-carriers (Nc-PD). All participants underwent DBS and were followed up for at least a year. Assessments before surgery and at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 years post-DBS included the following: the Movement Disorder Society's Unified PD Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III, Hoehn and Yahr scale, Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose (LEDD) and non-motor symptoms (psychotic episodes, depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline). RESULTS The sample was composed of 103 patients (72 males, mean age at DBS surgery 61.5 ± 8.7 years, mean postoperative follow-up 7.0 ± 4.1 years). Of these, 19 were LRRK2-PD, 20 GBA1-PD, and 64 were Nc-PD. No significant differences in motor outcomes were observed between the groups. Compared to the Nc-PD patients, the GBA1-PD patients were at increased risk of both psychotic episodes [hazard ratio (HR) 2.76 (95 % CI: 1.12-6.80), p = 0.027], and cognitive decline [HR 2.28 (95 % CI: 1.04-5.00), p = 0.04]. CONCLUSION LRRK2 and GBA1 variant status did not affect the motor outcomes of DBS in PD patients. However, GBA1-PD patients were at increased risk for psychosis and cognitive decline. Further studies are required to determine the role of genetic stratification in referral to DBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the era of modern medicine, where high-throughput sequencing techniques are readily available, it is desirable to elucidate the role of genetic background in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Genetic stratification of PD patients undergoing DBS may assist in patient selection and prediction of clinical outcomes and complement existing selection procedures such as levodopa challenge testing. OBJECTIVE To capture a broad spectrum of motor and non-motor DBS outcomes in genetic PD patients with data from the recently updated literature. METHODS A multi-scale meta-analysis with 380 genetic PD cases was conducted using the Cochrane Review Manager, JASP software and R. RESULTS This meta-analysis revealed that overall, patients with genetic PD are good candidates for DBS but the outcomes might differ depending on the presence of specific mutations. PRKN carriers benefited the most regarding motor function, daily dose medication and motor complications. However, GBA carriers appeared to be more prone to cognitive decline after subthalamic nucleus DBS accompanied by a low quality of life with variable severity depending on genetic variants and concomitant alterations in other genes. Apart from GBA, cognitive worsening was also observed in SNCA carriers. Pre-operative levodopa responsiveness and a younger age of onset are associated with a favorable motor outcome. CONCLUSION A personalized approach with a variant-based risk stratification within the emerging field of surgicogenomics is needed. Integration of polygenic risk scores in clinical-decision making should be encouraged.

Applicability of clinical genetic testing for deep brain stimulation treatment in monogenic Parkinson's disease and monogenic dystonia: a multidisciplinary team perspective. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1282267. [PMID: 38027472 PMCID: PMC10667448 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1282267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In this perspective article, we highlight the possible applicability of genetic testing in Parkinson's disease and dystonia patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS, a neuromodulatory technique employing electrical stimulation, has historically targeted motor symptoms in advanced PD and dystonia, yet its precise mechanisms remain elusive. Genetic insights have emerged as potential determinants of DBS efficacy. Known PD genes such as GBA, SNCA, LRRK2, and PRKN are most studied, even though further studies are required to make firm conclusions. Variable outcomes depending on genotype is present in genetic dystonia, as DYT-TOR1A, NBIA/DYTPANK2, DYT-SCGE and X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism have demonstrated promising outcomes following GPi-DBS, while varying outcomes have been documented in DYT-THAP1. We present two clinical vignettes that illustrate the applicability of genetics in clinical practice, with one PD patient with compound GBA mutations and one GNAL dystonia patient. Integrating genetic testing into clinical practice is pivotal, particularly with advancements in next-generation sequencing. However, there is a clear need for further research, especially in rarer monogenic forms. Our perspective is that applying genetics in PD and dystonia is possible today, and despite challenges, it has the potential to refine patient selection and enhance treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Objective The spatiotemporal gait changes in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) remain a treatment challenge and have variable responses to L-dopa and subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). The purpose of this study was to determine whether low-frequency STN-DBS (LFS; 60 Hz) elicits a differential response to high-frequency STN-DBS (HFS; 180 Hz) in spatiotemporal gait kinematics. Methods Advanced PD subjects with chronic STN-DBS were evaluated in both the OFF and ON medication states with LFS and HFS stimulation. Randomization of electrode contact pairs and frequency conditions was conducted. Instrumented Stand and Walk assessments were carried out for every stimulation/medication condition. LM-ANOVA was employed for analysis. Results Twenty-two PD subjects participated in the study, with a mean age (SD) of 63.9 years. Significant interactions between frequency (both LFS and HFS) and electrode contact pairs (particularly ventrally located contacts) were observed for both spatial (foot elevation, toe-off angle, stride length) and temporal (foot speed, stance, single limb support (SLS) and foot swing) gait parameters. A synergistic effect was also demonstrated with L-dopa and both HFS and LFS for right SLS, left stance, left foot swing, right toe-off angle, and left arm range of motion. HFS produced significant improvement in trunk and lumbar range of motion compared to LFS. Conclusion The study provides evidence of synergism of L-dopa and STN-DBS on lower limb spatial and temporal measures in advanced PD. HFS and LFS STN-DBS produced equivalent effects among all other tested lower limb gait features. HFS produced significant trunk and lumbar kinematic improvements.

Abstract
In 2004, the identification of pathogenic variants in the LRRK2 gene across several families with autosomal dominant late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) revolutionized our understanding of the role of genetics in PD. Previous beliefs that genetics in PD was limited to rare early-onset or familial forms of the disease were quickly dispelled. Currently, we recognize LRRK2 p.G2019S as the most common genetic cause of both sporadic and familial PD, with more than 100,000 affected carriers across the globe. The frequency of LRRK2 p.G2019S is also highly variable across populations, with some regions of Asian or Latin America reporting close to 0%, contrasting to Ashkenazi Jews or North African Berbers reporting up to 13% and 40%, respectively. Patients with LRRK2 pathogenic variants are clinically and pathologically heterogeneous, highlighting the age-related variable penetrance that also characterizes LRRK2-related disease. Indeed, the majority of patients with LRRK2-related disease are characterized by a relatively mild Parkinsonism with less motor symptoms with variable presence of α-synuclein and/or tau aggregates, with pathologic pleomorphism widely described. At a functional cellular level, it is likely that pathogenic variants mediate a toxic gain-of-function of the LRRK2 protein resulting in increased kinase activity perhaps in a cell-specific manner; by contrast, some LRRK2 variants appear to be protective reducing PD risk by decreasing the kinase activity. Therefore, employing this information to define appropriate patient populations for clinical trials of targeted kinase LRRK2 inhibition strategies is very promising and demonstrates a potential future application for PD using precision medicine.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are carriers of glucosylceramidase β1 (GBA1) gene mutations typically have an earlier age at onset and a more aggressive disease course, with a higher burden of neuropsychological issues. The use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in PD patients with disabling motor fluctuations and absence of dementia is a widespread therapeutic option, often with good results in terms of improvement in activities of daily living and quality of life. Although all PD patients, when fulfilling the common selection criteria for DBS, can benefit from this intervention, some studies have raised attention toward the fact that PD patients who are carriers of GBA1 variants may have a worse DBS outcome possibly due to an accelerated progression of cognitive decline. From this viewpoint, we summarize the current literature, highlighting the knowledge gaps and proposing suggestions for further research as well as for clinical practice in this timeframe of uncertainty related to using DBS in PD patients who are carriers of GBA1 variants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) is a safe and well-established therapy for the management of motor symptoms refractory to best medical treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Early intervention is discussed especially for Early-onset PD (EOPD) patients that present with an age of onset ≤ 45-50 years and see themselves often confronted with high psychosocial demands. METHODS We retrospectively assessed the effect of STN-DBS at 12 months follow-up (12-MFU) in 46 EOPD-patients. Effects of stimulation were evaluated by comparison of disease-specific scores for motor and non-motor symptoms including impulsiveness, apathy, mood, quality of life (QoL), cognition before surgery and in the stimulation ON-state without medication. Further, change in levodopa equivalent dosage (LEDD) after surgery, DBS parameter, lead localization, adverse and serious adverse events as well as and possible additional clinical features were assessed. RESULTS PD-associated gene mutations were found in 15% of our EOPD-cohort. At 12-MFU, mean motor scores had improved by 52.4 ± 17.6% in the STIM-ON/MED-OFF state compared to the MED-OFF state at baseline (p = 0.00; n = 42). These improvements were accompanied by a significant 59% LEDD reduction (p < 0.001), a significant 6.6 ± 16.1 points reduction of impulsivity (p = 0.02; n = 35) and a significant 30 ± 50% improvement of QoL (p = 0.01). At 12-MFU, 9 patients still worked full- and 6 part-time. Additionally documented motor and/or neuropsychiatric features decreased from n = 41 at baseline to n = 14 at 12-MFU. CONCLUSION The present study-results demonstrate that EOPD patients with and without known genetic background benefit from STN-DBS with significant improvement in motor as well as non-motor symptoms. In line with this, patients experienced a meaningful reduction of additional neuropsychiatric features. Physicians as well as patients have an utmost interest in possible predictors for the putative DBS outcome in a cohort with such a highly complex clinical profile. Longitudinal monitoring of DBS-EOPD-patients over long-term intervals with standardized comprehensive clinical assessment, accurate phenotypic characterization and documentation of clinical outcomes might help to gain insights into disease etiology, to contextualize genomic information and to identify predictors of optimal DBS candidates as well as those in danger of deterioration and/or non-response in the future.

Abstract
Background and purposeThe aim of the study is to predict the subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) outcomes for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using the radiomic features extracted from pre-operative magnetic resonance images (MRI).MethodsThe study included 34 PD patients who underwent DBS implantation in the STN. Five patients (15%) showed poor DBS motor outcome. All together 9 amygdalar nuclei and 12 hippocampus subfields were segmented using Freesurfer 7.0 pipeline from pre-operative MRI images. Furthermore, PyRadiomics platform was used to extract 120 radiomic features for each nuclei and subfield resulting in 5,040 features. Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) feature selection method was employed to reduce the number of features to 20, and 8 machine learning methods (regularized binary logistic regression (LR), decision tree classifier (DT), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), naive Bayes classifier (NB), kernel support vector machine (SVM), deep feed-forward neural network (DNN), one-class support vector machine (OC-SVM), feed-forward neural network-based autoencoder for anomaly detection (DNN-A)) were applied to build the models for poor vs. good and very good STN-DBS motor outcome prediction.ResultsThe highest mean prediction accuracy was obtained using regularized LR (96.65 ± 7.24%, AUC 0.98 ± 0.06) and DNN (87.25 ± 14.80%, AUC 0.87 ± 0.18).ConclusionThe results show the potential power of the radiomic features extracted from hippocampus and amygdala MRI in the prediction of STN-DBS motor outcomes for PD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a life-changing treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and gives the unique opportunity to directly explore how basal ganglia work. Despite the rapid technological innovation of the last years, the untapped potential of DBS is still high. AREAS COVERED. This review summarizes the developments in the mechanistic understanding of DBS and the potential clinical applications of cutting-edge technological advances. Rather than a univocal local mechanism, DBS exerts its therapeutic effects through several multimodal mechanisms and involving both local and network-wide structures, although crucial questions remain unexplained. Nonetheless, new insights in mechanistic understanding of DBS in PD have provided solid bases for advances in preoperative selection phase, prediction of motor and non-motor outcomes, leads placement and postoperative stimulation programming. EXPERT OPINION. DBS has not only strong evidence of clinical effectiveness in PD treatment, but technological advancements are revamping its role of neuromodulation of brain circuits and key to better understanding PD pathophysiology. In the next few years, the worldwide use of new technologies in clinical practice will provide large data to elucidate their role and to expand their applications for PD patients, providing useful insights to personalize DBS treatment and follow-up.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is in some cases predisposed-or-caused by genetic variants, contributing to the expression of different phenotypes. Regardless of etiology, as the disease progresses, motor fluctuations and/or levodopa-induced dyskinesias limit the benefit of pharmacotherapy. Device-aided therapies are good alternatives in advanced disease, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel, and continuous subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine. Candidate selection and timing are critical for the success of such therapies. Genetic screening in DBS cohorts has shown a higher proportion of mutation carriers than in general cohorts, suggesting that genetic factors may influence candidacy for advanced therapies. The response of monogenic PD to device therapies is not well established, and the contribution of genetic information to decision-making is still a matter of debate. The limited evidence regarding gene-dependent response to device-aided therapies is reviewed here. An accurate understanding of the adequacy and responses of different mutation carriers to device-aided therapies requires the development of specific studies with long-term monitoring.

Genetic stratification of motor and QoL outcomes in Parkinson's disease in the EARLYSTIM study. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2022; 103:169-174.

Abstract
PURPOSE The decision for subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) relies on clinical predictors. Whether genetic variables could predict favourable or unfavourable decisions is under investigation. OBJECTIVE First, we aimed to reproduce the previous observation that SNCA rs356220 was associated with favourable STN-DBS motor response. In additional exploratory analyses, we studied if other PD risk and progression variants from the latest GWAS are associated with therapeutic outcome. Further, we evaluated the predictive value of polygenic risk scores. METHODS We comprehensively genotyped patients from the EarlyStim cohort using NeuroChip, and assessed the clinico-genetic associations with longitudinal outcome parameters. RESULTS The SNCA rs356220 variant did not predict UPDRS III outcomes. However, it was associated with quality of life improvement in secondary analyses. Several polymorphisms from previously identified GWAS hits predicted motor or quality of life outcomes in DBS patients. Polygenic risk scores did not predict any outcome parameter. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the hypothesis that different common genetic markers are associated with favourable quality of life outcomes of STN-DBS in PD. These findings can be the basis for further validation in larger and independent cohorts.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. At present, 5–10% of PD patients are found to have monogenic form of the disease. Each genetic mutation has its own unique clinical features and disease trajectory. It is unclear if the genetic background can affect the outcome of device-aided therapies in these patients. In general, monogenic PD patients have satisfactory motor outcome after receiving invasive therapies. However, their long-term outcome can vary with their genetic mutations. It appears that patients with leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) and PRKN mutations tended to have good outcome following deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. However, those with Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutation were found to have poorer cognitive performance, especially after undergoing subthalamic nucleus DBS surgery. In this review, we will provide an overview of the outcomes of device-aided therapies in PD patients with different genetic mutations.

Abstract
For more than 30 years, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been a therapeutic option for Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment. However, this therapy is still underutilized mainly due to misinformation regarding risks and clinical outcomes. DBS can ameliorate several motor and non-motor symptoms, improving patients' quality of life. Furthermore, most of the improvement after DBS is long-lasting and present even in advanced PD. Adequate patient selection, precise electric leads placement, and correct DBS programming are paramount for good surgical outcomes. Nonetheless, DBS still has many limitations: axial symptoms and signs, such as speech, balance and gait, do not improve to the same extent as appendicular symptoms and can even be worsened as a direct or indirect consequence of surgery and stimulation. In addition, there are still unanswered questions regarding patient's selection, surgical planning and programming techniques, such as the role of surgicogenomics, more precise imaging-based lead placement, new brain targets, advanced programming strategies and hardware features. The net effect of these innovations should not only be to refine the beneficial effect we currently observe on selected symptoms and signs but also to improve treatment resistant facets of PD, such as axial and non-motor features. In this review, we discuss the current state of the art regarding DBS selection, implant, and programming, and explore new advances in the DBS field.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta of the midbrain substantia nigra. PD pathophysiology is complex, multifactorial, and not fully understood yet. Nonetheless, recent data show that immune system hyperactivation with concomitant production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, both in the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery, is a signature of idiopathic PD. About 5% of PD patients present an early onset with a determined genetic cause, with either autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance. The involvement of immunity in the genetic forms of PD has been a matter of interest in several recent studies. In this review, we will summarize the main findings of this new and promising field of research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to compare the rate of change in cognition between glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutation carriers and noncarriers with and without subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in Parkinson disease. METHODS Clinical and genetic data from 12 datasets were examined. Global cognition was assessed using the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS). Subjects were examined for mutations in GBA and categorized as GBA carriers with or without DBS (GBA+DBS+, GBA+DBS-), and noncarriers with or without DBS (GBA-DBS+, GBA-DBS-). GBA mutation carriers were subcategorized according to mutation severity (risk variant, mild, severe). Linear mixed modeling was used to compare rate of change in MDRS scores over time among the groups according to GBA and DBS status and then according to GBA severity and DBS status. RESULTS Data were available for 366 subjects (58 GBA+DBS+, 82 GBA+DBS-, 98 GBA-DBS+, and 128 GBA-DBS- subjects), who were longitudinally followed (range = 36-60 months after surgery). Using the MDRS, GBA+DBS+ subjects declined on average 2.02 points/yr more than GBA-DBS- subjects (95% confidence interval [CI] = -2.35 to -1.69), 1.71 points/yr more than GBA+DBS- subjects (95% CI = -2.14 to -1.28), and 1.49 points/yr more than GBA-DBS+ subjects (95% CI = -1.80 to -1.18). INTERPRETATION Although not randomized, this composite analysis suggests that the combined effects of GBA mutations and STN-DBS negatively impact cognition. We advise that DBS candidates be screened for GBA mutations as part of the presurgical decision-making process. We advise that GBA mutation carriers be counseled regarding potential risks associated with STN-DBS so that alternative options may be considered. ANN NEUROL 2022;91:424-435.

Subthalamic Peak Beta Ratio Is Asymmetric in Glucocerebrosidase Mutation Carriers With Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study. Front Neurol 2021; 12:723476.

Abstract
Introduction: Up to 27% of individuals undergoing subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) have a genetic form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutation carriers, compared to sporadic PD, present with a more aggressive disease, less asymmetry, and fare worse on cognitive outcomes with STN-DBS. Evaluating STN intra-operative local field potentials provide the opportunity to assess and compare symmetry between GBA and non-GBA mutation carriers with PD; thus, providing insight into genotype and STN physiology, and eligibility for and programming of STN-DBS. The purpose of this pilot study was to test differences in left and right STN resting state beta power in non-GBA and GBA mutation carriers with PD. Materials and Methods: STN (left and right) resting state local field potentials were recorded intraoperatively from 4 GBA and 5 non-GBA patients with PD while off medication. Peak beta power expressed as a ratio to total beta power (peak beta ratio) was compared between STN hemispheres and groups while co-varying for age, age of disease onset, and disease severity. Results: Peak beta ratio was significantly different between the left and the right STN for the GBA group (p < 0.01) but not the non-GBA group (p = 0.56) after co-varying for age, age of disease onset, and disease severity. Discussion: Peak beta ratio in GBA mutation carriers was more asymmetric compared with non-mutation carriers and this corresponded with the degree of clinical asymmetry as measured by rating scales. This finding suggests that GBA mutation carriers have a physiologic signature that is distinct from that found in sporadic PD.

Abstract
Background: Postoperative outcome following deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus is variable, particularly with respect to axial motor improvement. We hypothesized a genetic underpinning to the response to surgical intervention, termed “surgicogenomics”. Objective: We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with clinical heterogeneity in DBS outcome of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients that could then be applied clinically to target selection leading to improved surgical outcome. Methods: Retrospective clinical data was extracted from 150 patient’s charts. Each individual was genotyped using the genome-wide NeuroX array tailored to study neurologic diseases. Genetic data were clustered based on surgical outcome assessed by comparing pre- and post-operative scores of levodopa equivalent daily dose and axial impairment at one and five years post-surgery. Allele frequencies were compared between patients with excellent vs. moderate/poor outcomes grouped using a priori defined cut-offs. We analyzed common variants, burden of rare coding variants, and PD polygenic risk score. Results: NeuroX identified 2,917 polymorphic markers at 113 genes mapped to known PD loci. The gene-burden analyses of 202 rare nonsynonymous variants suggested a nominal association of axial impairment with 14 genes (most consistent with CRHR1, IP6K2, and PRSS3). The strongest association with surgical outcome was detected between a reduction in levodopa equivalent daily dose and common variations tagging two linkage disequilibrium blocks with SH3GL2. Conclusion: Once validated in independent populations, our findings may be implemented to improve patient selection for DBS in PD.

[PMID: 33318422 PMCID: PMC8284265 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.300980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common cause of neurodegeneration. Over the last two decades, various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of PD. Among these is the oxidant-antioxidant theory, which asserts that local and systemic oxidative damage triggered by reactive oxygen species and other free radicals may promote dopaminergic neuron degeneration. Excessive reactive oxygen species formation, one of the underlying causes of pathology in the course of PD has been evidenced by various studies showing that oxidized macromolecules including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids accumulate in brain tissues of PD patients. DNA oxidation may produce various lesions in the course of PD. Mutations incurred as a result of DNA oxidation may further enhance reactive oxygen species production in the brains of PD patients, exacerbating neuronal loss due to defects in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, antioxidant depletion, and exposure to toxic oxidized dopamine. The protein products of SNCA, PRKN, PINK1, DJ1, and LRRK2 genes are associated with disrupted oxidoreductive homeostasis in PD. SNCA is the first gene linked with familial PD and is currently known to be affected by six mutations correlated with the disorder: A53T, A30P, E46K, G51D, H50Q and A53E. PRKN encodes Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase which mediates the proteasome degradation of redundant and disordered proteins such as glycosylated α-synuclein. Over 100 mutations have been found among the 12 exons of PRKN. PINK1, a mitochondrial kinase highly expressed in the brain, may undergo loss of function mutations which constitute approximately 1-8% of early onset PD cases. More than 50 PD-promoting mutations have been found in PINK1. Mutations in DJ-1, a neuroprotective protein, are a rare cause of early onset PD and constitute only 1% of cases. Around 20 mutations have been found in DJ1 among PD patients thus far. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common known cause of familial autosomal dominant PD and sporadic PD. Treatment of PD patients, especially in the advanced stages of the disease, is very difficult. The first step in managing progressive PD is to optimize dopaminergic therapy by increasing the doses of dopamine agonists and L-dopa. The next step is the introduction of advanced therapies, such as deep brain stimulation. Genetic factors may influence the response to L-dopa and deep brain stimulation therapy and the regulation of oxidative stress. Consequently, research into minimally invasive surgical interventions, as well as therapies that target the underlying etiology of PD is warranted.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a complex heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder. Association studies have revealed numerous genetic risk loci and variants, and about 5-10% suffer from a monogenic form. Because the presentation and course of PD is unique to each patient, personalized symptomatic treatment should ideally be offered to treat the most disabling motor and non-motor symptoms. Indeed, clinical milestones and treatment complications that appear during disease progression are influenced by the genetic imprint. With recent advances in PD, more patients live longer to become eligible for device-aided therapies, such as apomorphine continuous subcutaneous infusion, levodopa duodenal gel infusion, and deep brain stimulation surgery, each with its own inclusion and exclusion criteria, advantages and disadvantages. Because genetic variants influence the expression of particular clinical profiles, factors for better or worse outcomes for device-aided therapies may then be proactively identified. For example, mutations in PRKN, LRRK2 and GBA express phenotypes that favor suitability for different device therapies, although with marked differences in the therapeutic window; whereas multiplications of SNCA express phenotypes that make them less desirable for device therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION LRRK2 mutations have traditionally been associated with a benign phenotype of Parkinson's disease (PD). Favourable responses to deep brain stimulation (DBS) are reported in the advanced phase. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and progression of 13 patients with LRRK2-associated PD (13 with G2019S and one with I1371 V). Nine patients were in the advanced phase, with a mean progression time of 7.2 years before reaching this phase. RESULTS Seven patients underwent bilateral subthalamic DBS implantation, and two received infusion treatment. Patients with mutation G2019S responded excellently to DBS, with Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) II and III scores improving by 80% at six months. This response was sustained over time. The patient with mutation I1371 V had a severe phenotype of the disease, and presented a moderate response to DBS. Patients with advanced LRRK2-associated PD showed predominantly frontal cognitive involvement, with significant language impairment. CONCLUSIONS In these patients, progression was faster in the advanced stage of the disease. We emphasise the suitability of subthalamic DBS in the management of these patients.

Deep Brain Stimulation Selection Criteria for Parkinson's Disease: Time to Go beyond CAPSIT-PD. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9123931.

Abstract
Despite being introduced in clinical practice more than 20 years ago, selection criteria for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) rely on a document published in 1999 called 'Core Assessment Program for Surgical Interventional Therapies in Parkinson's Disease'. These criteria are useful in supporting the selection of candidates. However, they are both restrictive and out-of-date, because the knowledge on PD progression and phenotyping has massively evolved. Advances in understanding the heterogeneity of PD presentation, courses, phenotypes, and genotypes, render a better identification of good DBS outcome predictors a research priority. Additionally, DBS invasiveness, cost, and the possibility of serious adverse events make it mandatory to predict as accurately as possible the clinical outcome when informing the patients about their suitability for surgery. In this viewpoint, we analyzed the pre-surgical assessment according to the following topics: early versus delayed DBS; the evolution of the levodopa challenge test; and the relevance of axial symptoms; patient-centered outcome measures; non-motor symptoms; and genetics. Based on the literature, we encourage rethinking of the selection process for DBS in PD, which should move toward a broad clinical and instrumental assessment of non-motor symptoms, quantitative measurement of gait, posture, and balance, and in-depth genotypic and phenotypic characterization.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) that has undergone technological evolution that parallels an expansion in clinical phenotyping, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging of the disease state. Machine learning (ML) has been successfully used in a wide range of healthcare problems, including DBS. As computational power increases and more data become available, the application of ML in DBS is expected to grow. We review the literature of ML in DBS and discuss future opportunities for such applications. Specifically, we perform a comprehensive review of the literature from PubMed, the Institute for Scientific Information's Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) Xplore Digital Library for ML applications in DBS. These studies are broadly placed in the following categories: (1) DBS candidate selection; (2) programming optimization; (3) surgical targeting; and (4) insights into DBS mechanisms. For each category, we provide and contextualize the current body of research and discuss potential future directions for the application of ML in DBS.

Abstract
With over 7 million patients worldwide, Parkinson's disease (PD) is becoming more prevalent as life span and industrialization increase. While the majority of cases are sporadic and present in individuals over 65, inherited mutations in Parkin can manifest in individuals as young as teenagers. The involvement of Parkin in neurodegeneration has been widely investigated and its role in mitophagy is undeniable. In the recent years, however, additional functions of the protein are beginning to come to light, which in turn may influence the way patients harboring Parkin mutations are treated. In the present article, we discuss the clinical and genetic aspects of Parkin-linked PD. For this purpose, we consulted the MDSGene database, which comprises the literature of more than 1000 patients with Parkin mutations. In addition, we provide insight into Parkin's multifaceted role in mitochondrial clearance and maintenance. Finally, we discuss treatment strategies such as brain stimulation, small molecule drugs and dopaminergic cell replacement that could be tailored to improve the clinical phenotypes in Parkin-linked PD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date, no drug has demonstrated clinically indisputable neuroprotective efficacy in Parkinson's disease (PD). We also have no effective symptomatic treatment for disabling symptoms such as balance problems, and dementia, and we need to improve the efficacy and safety profile of drugs currently used in the management of motor complications. AREAS COVERED We examine the agents which appear to have most therapeutic promise based on concepts, feasibility in a reasonable time frame, and available clinical data and place an emphasis on disease-modifying treatments. PUBMED and Clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched for Phase I and II randomized trials for symptomatic or disease-modifying treatments considering only studies that began since 2010 or that were completed after 2015, up to 30 April 2020. EXPERT OPINION Encouraging progress has been made in our understanding of molecular pathways. We find passive immunization approaches against α-synuclein, LRRK2 kinase inhibitors, and treatment that can increase GCase activity, which have shown some efficacy on both GBA-mutated and non-mutated PD patients. The recognition of non-dopaminergic impairment and the prominent role of non-motor symptoms have prompted the development of trials on compounds that could tackle different neurotransmitter systems. Future approaches will encompass more personalized medicine strategies based on molecular signatures and non-motor phenotypes.

Abstract
Pathogenic and risk variants in the LRRK2 gene are among the main genetic contributors to Parkinson's disease (PD) worldwide, and LRRK2-targeted therapies for patients with PARK-LRRK2are now entering clinical trials. However, in contrast to the LRRK2 G2019S mutation commonly found in Caucasians, North-African Arabs, and Ashkenazi Jews, relatively little is known about other causative LRRK2 mutations, and data on genotype-phenotype correlations are largely lacking. This report is from an ongoing multicentre study in which next-generation sequencing-based PD gene panel testing has so far been conducted on 499 PD patients of various ethnicities from Malaysia. We describe 2 sisters of Chinese ancestry with PD who carry the R1441C mutation in LRRK2 (which in Asians has been reported in only 2 Chinese patients previously), and highlight interesting clinical observations made over a decade of close follow-up. We further explored the feasibility of using a brief, expert-administered rating scale (the Clinical Impression of Severity Index; CISI-PD) to capture data on global disease severity in a large (n = 820) unselected cohort of PD patients, including severely disabled individuals typically excluded from research studies. All patients in this study were managed and evaluated by the same PD neurologist, and these data were used to make broad comparisons between the monogenic PD cases versus the overall "real world" PD cohort. This report contributes to the scarce literature on R1441C PARK-LRRK2, offering insights into natural history and epidemiological aspects, and provides support for the application of a simple and reliable clinical tool that can improve the inclusion of under-represented patient groups in PD research.
