Neurogenetics is the branch of science that studies the genetic basis of the development and function of the nervous system and the role of genes and genetic variation in neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. The field combines genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience to investigate how inherited and acquired changes in DNA, gene expression, and the molecular pathways they control contribute to conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. By identifying disease-associated genes, defective biological pathways, and the mechanisms linking genotype to neurological phenotype, neurogenetics informs diagnosis, classification, and the search for targeted therapies. Many neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson disease, are understood to arise from disruptions in specific cellular and molecular pathways, and computational and systems approaches are increasingly used to identify which pathways are impaired. Research published in Neurological Research and Therapy reflects this approach, including a study on the robust sampling of defective pathways in Parkinson disease, which examines the molecular pathways disrupted in the disorder and contributes to understanding its underlying biology. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to neurogenetics and the genetic and molecular basis of neurological disease.
