Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association of Parkinson's disease (PD) with two genes encoding liver-detoxifying enzymes, debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (CYP2D6) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), and with one gene related to Alzheimer's disease, apolipoprotein E (APOE). In a sample of 139 unrelated PD cases and 113 control subjects, the NAT2 M3 allele was associated with PD (odds ratio = 7.9; 95% confidence interval =...
