Polymorphism in theparkin gene in sporadic Parkinson's disease

Abstract excerpt

We report polymorphism of the parkin gene in 160 sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and controls. Three polymorphisms were found: a G-to-A transition in exon 4 (S/N167), a C-to-T transition in exon 10 (R/W366), and a G-to-C transition in exon 10 (V/L380). Genotype distributions and allele frequencies of S/N167 and V/L380 did not differ significantly between the two groups. The R/W366 allele frequency was...
