?-Synuclein expression in substantia nigra and cortex in Parkinson's disease
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in several families of European descent with early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). We sequenced the complete alpha-synuclein cDNA from substantia nigra and cortex from nine patients with PD and eight control subjects. No mutations were found. We then analyzed alpha-synuclein mRNA levels using a ribonuclease protection assay. Two major protected...
