in the cerebellar cortex of Essential tremor (ET) in patients compared with controls, particularly in individuals with longer disease duration
Susceptibility to essential tremor (ET)
Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • Significant association was found with allele G of marker rs9652490 in essential tremor
  • a marker rs9652490, showing significant genome-wide association with essential tremor (ET)
  • relationship between LINGO1 rs11856808 polymorphism and the risk for ET and for familial ET, while rs9652490 polymorphism was only related with the risk for familial ET
  • Candidate gene

    targeted inhibition of LINGO1 presents a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of neurological diseases
    neurologydystonia 
    antagonism of LINGO1 may be a worthwhile approach to the treatment of some diseases of the central nervous system (essential tremor is on the top of the list of diseases to be assessed)
    neuromuscularneuropathy 
    Antagonism of LINGO-1 or its pathway is therefore a promising approach for the treatment of demyelinating diseases of the CNS
    neurologyacquired 
    treatment with LINGO-1-Fc can significantly enhance recovery after spinal cord injury
    neurologyneurodegenerative 
    target for the treatment of demyelination diseases
    neurologyneurodegenerative 
    is a potential drug target for essential tremor
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    Increased axon integrity observed in LINGO1 mouse knockout models highlights the potential role of LINGO1 in the pathophysiology of essential tremor and opens up a new field in the research into essential tremor
