Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between genetic polymorphism of dopamine transporter (DAT) gene and susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: The polymorphism of DAT 3' VNTR was analyzed in 171 PD patients and 180 unrelated healthy controls with amplification fragment length polymorphism (Amp-FLP). RESULTS: Five alleles of the DAT 3' VNTR were detected, consisting of 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 copies of...
