Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein, the main component of proteinaceous inclusions in synucleinopathies, is centrally involved in aggregation processes preceding Lewy body formation. Here we describe a new alpha-synuclein gene poly-T polymorphism that is situated upstream to exon 3 and consists of three different alleles. A correlation between poly-T length and expression of alpha-synuclein 126 mRNA, an isoform lacking exon 3, was...
