Abstract excerpt
To determine whether mutations in the coding region of the alpha-synuclein gene are relevant in cases of multiple system atrophy (MSA), detailed nucleotide sequence analysis of the alpha-synuclein gene was performed using total RNA obtained from autopsied brain specimens of 11 pathologically confirmed cases of MSA. The brain specimens used in this study contained both gray and white matter, which were dissected...
