Abstract excerpt
Four polymorphic sites (C/T188, C/T2938, G/C4268, G/A1934) in the cytochrome P4502D6 (debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase) gene were investigated for their association with sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Three mutant alleles (C/T188, C/T2938 and G/C4268) result in amino acid changes which could alter the substrate specificity or alter its ability to metabolize their substrates; the fourth (G/A1934) causes a loss of...
