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.

Levodopa Versus Dopamine Agonist after Subthalamic Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease. Mov Disord 2020; 36:672-680.

Abstract
Background No clinical trials have been specifically designed to compare medical treatments after surgery in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective Study's objective was to compare the efficacy and safety of levodopa versus dopamine agonist monotherapy after deep brain stimulation (DBS) in PD. Methods Thirty‐five surgical candidates were randomly assigned to receive postoperative monotherapy with either levodopa or dopamine agonist in a randomized, single‐blind study. All patients were reevaluated in short‐ (3 months), mid‐ (6 months), and long‐term (2.5 years) follow‐up after surgery. The primary outcome measure was the change in the Non‐Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) 3 months after surgery. Secondary outcome measures were the percentage of patients maintaining monotherapy, change in motor symptoms, and specific non‐motor symptoms (NMS). Analysis was performed primarily in the intention‐to‐treat population. Results Randomization did not significantly affect the primary outcome (difference in NMSS between treatment groups was 4.88 [95% confidence interval: −11.78–21.53, P = 0.566]). In short‐ and mid‐term follow‐up, monotherapy was safe and feasible in more than half of patients (60% in short‐ and 51.5% in mid‐term follow‐up), but it was more often possible for patients on levodopa. The ability to maintain dopamine agonist monotherapy was related to optimal contact location. In the long term, levodopa monotherapy was feasible only in a minority of patients (34.2%), whereas dopamine agonist monotherapy was not tolerated due to worsening of motor conditions or occurrence of impulse control disorders. Conclusions This trial provides evidence for simplifying pharmacological treatment after functional neurosurgery for PD. The reduction in dopamine receptor agonists should be attempted while monitoring for occurrence of NMSs, such as apathy and sleep disturbances. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease can be treated surgically in patients who present with motor complications such as fluctuations and dyskinesias, or medically-refractory disabling tremor. In this review, a group of specialists formulated suggestions for a preoperative evaluation protocol after reviewing the literature published up to October 2017. In this protocol, eligibility and ineligibility criteria for surgical treatment were suggested, as well as procedures that should be carried out before the multidisciplinary therapeutic decisions. The review emphasizes the need to establish "DBS teams", with professionals dedicated specifically to this area. Finally, surgical target selection (subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus internus) is discussed briefly, weighing the pros and cons of each target.
