Mitochondrial translation initiation factor 3 gene polymorphism associated with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs early in late-onset sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), but the mitochondrial protein network mediating PD pathogenesis is largely unknown. Mutations in the mitochondrial serine-threonine kinase PINK1 have recently been shown to cause the early-onset autosomal recessive PARK6 variant of PD. We have now tested a candidate interactor protein of PINK1, the mitochondrial translation...
