The PPARGC1A locus and CNS-specific PGC-1α isoforms are associated with Parkinson's Disease
17 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. PGC-1α, encoded by PPARGC1A, is a transcriptional co-activator that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. We recently discovered multiple new PPARGC1A transcripts that initiate from a novel promoter located far upstream of the reference gene promoter, are CNS-specific and are more abundant...
