Galvan-Femenia I, Obon-Santacana M, Pineyro D, Guindo-Martinez M, Duran X, Carreras A, et al.
J Med Genet . 2018 Sep; 55(11):765-778. PMID: 30166351
Background: Heritability estimates have revealed an important contribution of SNP variants for most common traits; however, SNP analysis by single-trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has failed to uncover their impact....

Latorre J, Moreno-Navarrete J, Mercader J, Sabater M, Rovira O, Girones J, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2017 Jan; 41(4):620-630. PMID: 28119530
Background/objective: Many controversies regarding the association of liver miRNAs with obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) call for additional validations. This study sought to investigate variations in genes and...

Fernandez-Real J, Corella D, Goumidi L, Mercader J, Valdes S, Rojo Martinez G, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2013 Feb; 37(11):1499-505. PMID: 23399772
Objective: Thyroid hormone receptor-beta resistance has been associated with metabolic traits. THRA gene sequencing of an obese woman (index case) who presented as empirical thyroid hormone receptor-α (THRA) resistance, disclosed...

Mercader J, Fernandez-Aranda F, Gratacos M, Aguera Z, Forcano L, Ribases M, et al.
J Neural Transm (Vienna) . 2010 Mar; 117(4):505-12. PMID: 20195875
Association studies and rodent models suggest a major role for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in feeding regulation. Altered BDNF blood levels have been associated with eating disorders (ED) and their...

Mercader J, Ribases M, Gratacos M, Gonzalez J, Bayes M, de Cid R, et al.
Genes Brain Behav . 2007 Mar; 6(8):706-16. PMID: 17376155
Murine models and association studies in eating disorder (ED) patients have shown a role for the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in eating behavior. Some studies have shown association of BDNF...

Bartres-Faz D, Marti M, Junque C, Sole-Padulles C, Ezquerra M, Bralten L, et al.
Genes Brain Behav . 2006 Dec; 6(6):588-92. PMID: 17147698
Previous studies suggest that neuroimaging techniques are useful for detecting the effects of functional genetic polymorphisms on brain function in healthy subjects or in patients presenting with psychiatric or neurodegenerative...

Gimenez M, Junque C, Vendrell P, Narberhaus A, Bargallo N, Botet F, et al.
Neurology . 2006 Nov; 67(10):1818-22. PMID: 17130415
Objective: To investigate the effects of prematurity on sulcal formation. Methods: We evaluated the depth and volume of the primary olfactory sulcus (developed at 16 weeks' gestation) and the secondary...

Serra-Grabulosa J, Junque C, Verger K, Salgado-Pineda P, Maneru C, Mercader J
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry . 2004 Dec; 76(1):129-31. PMID: 15608014
We investigated residual brain damage in subjects who suffered severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in childhood, and its relationship with declarative memory impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumetric data and...

Serra-Grabulosa J, Salgado-Pineda P, Junque C, Sole-Padulles C, Moral P, Lopez-Alomar A, et al.
Neurogenetics . 2003 May; 4(3):141-6. PMID: 12736801
Previous research has shown that polymorphisms of the apolipoproteins E ( APOE) and APOC1 represent genetic risk factors for dementia and for cognitive impairment in the elderly. The brain mechanisms...

Neurology . 2001 Sep; 57(6):1115-8. PMID: 11571348
The authors performed neuropsychological and (1)H-MRS studies in 18 subclinical patients with antecedents of perinatal asphyxia (PA) and in 18 matched control subjects. Patients with PA showed reduced values of...
