Abstract excerpt
Brain tissue of 50 patients with morphological confirmed Parkinson's disease (PD), blood samples from 149 patients with clinical parkinsonism and from 96 healthy control subjects were collected. Apolipoprotein-E (apo E) and cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotyping were performed by PCR followed by restriction fragment analysis. A significantly higher allele frequency of CYP2D6*4 was found in patients with PD (35%)...
