Genetics in Parkinson's Disease: Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes

The genetic landscape of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by rare high penetrance pathogenic variants causing familial disease, genetic risk factor variants driving PD risk in a significant minority in PD cases and high frequency, low penetrance variants, which contribute a small increase of the risk of developing sporadic PD. This knowledge has the potential to have a major impact in the clinical care of people with PD.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of genetic mutation on behavior and cognition in PD patients.

Patients will be assessed over time using test, questionnaire and standardised clinica scales. An initial assessment and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out for 5 years.

Researchers will compare data collected from patients with genetic mutation versus patients without mutation.

Treatment and study plan

Clinical examinations and clinical scales administration

Diagnostic Test

Psychometric assessment of cognitive and behavioral outcomes

Primary outcomes

  1. Montreal Cognitive Assessment

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Cognitive impairment change from baseline until 5 years in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA; min. 0, max. 30, higher score means better outcome)

  2. Beck Depression Inventory

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Depressive symptoms change from baseline to 5 year (BDI-II, min 0, max 63, higher score means worse outcome)

  3. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Anxiety symptoms change from baseline to 5 year (STAI, min 20, max 80, higher score means worse outcome)

  4. Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Impulsivity change from baseline to 5 years (QUIP, min 0, max 112, higher score means worse outcome)

  5. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Sleep Quality change (PSQI, min 0, max 21, higher score means poorer sleep quality)

  6. Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Quality of life change from baseline to 5 years (PDQ-8, min 0, max 100, higher score means worse outcome)

  7. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2-RF

    Time frame: Annual assessments up to 5 years

    Personality change from baseline to 5 years (MMPI-2-RF, cut-off: T>65 for clinical scales)
