Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1gene (UCH-L1) has been implicated in the aetiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). A rare Ile93Met mutation in UCH-L1 in a German PD sib-pair has been reported. Recently, a S18Y (C54A) polymorphism in exon 3 of UCH-L1 was found to be under-represented in PD patients compared to controls. To test the reproducibility of this negative association, we conducted an...
