Cognitive decline in 134 Parkinson's disease patients, in relation to COMT Val158Met‐ and DRD2 C957T genotype

H.R. (95% CI) P‐value
Any cognitive decline (MCI or PDD)
↑No. of COMT 158Val‐alleles 1.51 (1.11‐2.06) .009a
↑No. of DRD2 957T‐alleles 1.64 (1.17‐2.31) .004a
COMT 158Val/Val vs. any Met allele 1.79 (1.06‐3.03) .030a
DRD2 957T/T vs. any C allele 2.31 (1.41‐3.79) <.001a
COMT 158Val/Val or DRD2 957T/T 2.46 (1.54‐3.91) <.001a
MCI development b
COMT 158Val/Val vs. any Met allele 2.13 (1.11‐4.08) .023a
DRD2 957T/T vs. any C allele 2.12 (1.14‐3.94) .018a
PDD development
COMT 158Val/Val vs. any Met allele 1.11 (0.51‐2.45) .791
DRD2 957T/T vs. any C allele 3.22 (1.64‐6.30) <.001a

Hazard Ratios (H.R.) are for risks within 6‐10 years, after correction for age, disease duration, sex, and baseline cognitive status (normal or MCI).

a

Significant (P < 0.05) after Holm‐Bonferroni correction.

b

Risk of PD‐MCI was analyzed in the 80 patients who had normal cognition at baseline, while the other outcomes were analyzed in all patients.

COMT, catechol‐O‐methyltransferase; DRD2, dopamine receptor D2; MCI, mild cognitive impairment; PDD, Parkinson's disease dementia; ↑, higher number (0, 1, or 2).
