Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of early onset Parkinson's disease (PD) has indicated that the mutation DJ-1 gene is one cause of autosomal recessive PD. Its role in the development of late onset PD and other Lewy body associated disorders such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is however unknown. We have therefore determined the influence of a common polymorphism in the DJ-1 gene that shows strong linkage disequilibrium with...
