Clinical heterogeneity of α‐synuclein gene duplication in Parkinson's disease
15 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recently, genomic multiplications of alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) have been reported to cause hereditary early-onset parkinsonism. The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of SNCA multiplications among autosomal dominant hereditary Parkinson's disease (ADPD). METHODS: We screened 113 ADPD probands and 200 sporadic PD cases by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and confirmed SNCA...
