Abstract excerpt
A coding substitution (I93M) in the ubiquitin carboxy-terminal L1 (UCH-L1) gene has recently been identified in a German family with Parkinson's disease. We have sequenced the entire coding region of the gene in 11 families who have a pattern of disease consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. We found a polymorphism (S18Y) in exon 3, two polymorphisms in the 5' non-coding region, upstream of the...
