Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether a coding mutation (Ile93Met) in ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH-L1) gene plays a role in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay (PCR-RFLP) was used to distinguish the wild-type (two DNA fragments of 34 and 126 bp) from the variant allele (three fragments of 34, 60 and 66 bp) because the...
