Two related clinical disorders The genome-wide association study, conducted by a UCL-led collaboration of 65 academics in 11 countries and funded by Alzheimer's . Found insideDisease-Modifying Targets in Neurodegenerative Disorders: Paving the Way for Disease-Modifying Therapies examines specific neurodegenerative disorders in comprehensive chapters written by experts in the respective fields. In rare cases, it has been seen that the disease can affect more than one family member. Although, this is the case when a single gene changes (mutation) and follows a specific pattern of inheritance. “Compared to other neurodegenerative disorders, very little is known about the genetic forces behind Lewy body dementia,” said Dr. Traynor. Lewy body dementia comprises both dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia, and is the second most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia. Despite this genetic association, it remains unclear how GBA mutations increase susceptibility to develop LBD. Introduction. The study was led by Dr. Scholz’s team and researchers in the lab of Bryan J. Traynor, M.D., Ph.D., senior investigator at the NIH’s National Institute on Aging (NIA).

The mission of NINDS is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. The results, published in Nature Genetics, not only supported the disease's ties to Parkinson's disease but also suggested that people who have Lewy body dementia may share similar genetic profiles to those who have Alzheimer's disease. Diagnosing Lewy body dementia can be challenging; an estimated 1.4 million Americans are living with the disease. Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer's disease are considered part of the same disease spectrum because their symptoms and brain pathologies often overlap. You can find more tips in our guide, How to Find a Disease Specialist. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the most common non-AD neurodegenerative disease has in the past several decades attracted the attention of the neurological scientific community due to its highly negative impact on the quality of life of both the affected individuals and those caring for them. It's not surprising that it's a question people want an answer to. Genome sequencing analysis identifies new loci associated with Lewy body dementia and provides insights into the complex genetic architecture. A growing body of evidence suggests genetics may play a role in the disorder and that some cases may be inherited. Research helps us better understand diseases and can lead to advances in diagnosis and treatment. Found inside – Page 1This book is the first comprehensive guide dealing with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), one of the largest groups of non-Alzheimer's dementias. The fact is there’s no specific treatment or cure to prevent the course of Lewy Body Dementia. Patients often appear to suffer the worst of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Hetrozygosity for common mutations in the GBA gene have been shown to be more frequent among DLB patients and Parkinson's disease patients than in the general population. Have a question? Further analysis suggested that changes in the activity of these genes may lead to dementia and that the GBA gene may have a particularly strong influence on the disease. However, this solely depends on the age, the severity of the symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia and other medical conditions.
