Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder for which genetic susceptibility has been documented in sporadic and familial cases. Recently, a polymorphism located in exon 3 at codon 18 (S18Y) of the Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) gene has been associated with the disease in 2 populations of German origin and also in a Japanese population. We tested the impact of this polymorphism in...
