Abstract excerpt
Dissecting the genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) has contributed significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in these two complex disorders. For AD, three highly penetrant genes (amyloid precursor protein (APP, PSEN1 and PSEN2) and one susceptibility gene (APOE) have been identified. For PD, seven genes (SNCA, Parkin, UCHL1, NR4A2, DJ1, PINK1 and...
