EPG5 Gene Errors Tied to Vici Syndrome and Parkinson’s
New Links Between EPG5 Mutations, Early Neurodevelopment, and Later Neurodegeneration A groundbreaking study connects errors in the EPG5 gene, already known for causing the rare neurodevelopmental disorder Vici syndrome, to later-age neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Published in the Annals of Neurology, the research consortium spanning King’s College London, University College London…

EPG5 gene errors link infant syndrome to Parkinson’s disease
EPG5 gene errors connect infant neurodevelopmental disorder to adult neurodegeneration A surprising thread is emerging from recent research: errors in the EPG5 gene, already known to cause the severe infant condition Vici syndrome, may also contribute to the development of Parkinson’s disease and related dementias in adolescence and adulthood. The large, international study, published in…

EPG5 Gene Errors Linked to Vici Syndrome and Late-Life Parkinson’s and Dementia Risks
New Evidence Connects EPG5 Mutations Across the Lifespan Researchers are uncovering a surprising link between a gene known for causing a severe infant disorder and neurodegenerative diseases that emerge much later in life. In a study published in the Annals of Neurology, scientists demonstrated that errors in the EPG5 gene, already associated with Vici syndrome,…
