Variations in the dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene are not associated with the autonomic disorders, pure autonomic failure, or multiple system atrophy.

Norepinephrine (NE) is the major neurotransmitter of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Recent findings of an association between human NE deficiency and variants at the dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) gene [Kim et al., 2002] prompted us to investigate these markers in patients with autonomic disorders; 38 with orthostatic intolerance (OI), 26 with pure autonomic failure (PAF), and 39 with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Eighty-eight normal controls were included in this study. In contrast to NE deficiency, allele frequency and genotype distribution of the genetic variants showed no differences between autonomic disease patients and controls. In addition, no DBH mutation was found that distinguished autonomic disease patients from controls, suggesting that genetic variants of the DBH gene are not associated with the autonomic diseases OI, PAF, and MSA.

[Diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of Parkinson disease].

The clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is based on the identification of some combination of the clinical motor signs of bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and postural instability. Three levels of diagnostic confidence are differentiated: possible, probable, and definite. The diagnosis of possible and probable Parkinson's disease based on clinical criteria alone, while definite diagnosis requires neuropathologic confirmation. To differentiate Parkinson's disease (idiopathic Parkinsonian syndrome) and other Parkinsonian syndromes is of increasing importance considering the therapy and life expectancy of the patients. Recently the functional imaging technics have been more and more helpful in the early differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
