Alpha-synuclein missense and multiplication mutations in autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Missense mutations and genomic multiplications of the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) have been linked to autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease. We screened 50 probands of families with autosomal dominant parkinsonism for alpha-synuclein mutations by exon sequencing. No known or novel mutations were found. We also analyzed the genomic DNA for multiplications of the SNCA locus using multiplex panels of...
