Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) have been implicated in familial Parkinson's disease (PD) while certain polymorphic alleles at a microsatellite repeat, NACP-Rep1, located approximately 10 kb upstream of the gene, have been associated with sporadic PD. In order to study the regulation of the human alpha-synuclein gene, we performed a deletion analysis of 10.7 kb upstream of the translational start...
