[Searching genetic risk factors for sporadic Parkinson's disease].

Abstract excerpt

Multiple genetic and environmental factors are thought to cause idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). To identify the genetic factors, we are carrying case-control association studies by genome-wide MS (microsatellite) markers and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers on the candidate genes, and sib-pair analysis. We investigated 27,000 MS markers and found 8% of them were significantly associated with PD...
