Abstract excerpt
A variety of deletional and point mutations has been identified in the parkin gene on chromosome 6q25.2-27 in patients with autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, a distinct form of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). To study the potential involvement of the parkin gene in development of non-hereditary idiopathic PD, a codon 167 serine/asparagine (167S/N) polymorphism located in its exon 4 was analyzed by...
