Abstract excerpt
Two mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene and various mutations in the parkin gene are associated with familial Parkinson's disease (PD). The present study was performed to analyse if mutations in these genes could be detected in Finnish patients with familial PD. The subjects comprised 22 unrelated patients with familial PD. The molecular genetic analysis consisted of sequence analysis of the non-coding and...
