Abstract excerpt
Recently, a novel protein-interaction partner of alpha-synuclein, designated synphilin-1, is identified as a constituent of Lewy bodies (LB) in Parkinson's disease (PD) brains. To investigate an involvement of genetic variations of synphilin-1 in development of sporadic PD, a possible single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of T131C corresponding to a valine (Val) to alanine (Ala) substitution at codon 44 in exon 3...
