Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Parkin (PARK2) and the DJ1 (PARK7) gene cause early-onset Parkinson disease (EOPD). We tested 75 Serbian EOPD patients for mutations in both genes by conventional mutational screening (SSCP/dHPLC/sequencing) to detect small sequence alterations and by gene dosage studies (quantitative PCR) to reveal deletions or multiplications of one or more exons. A compound heterozygous Parkin mutation (exon...
