17 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive mutations within the Parkin gene are associated with degeneration of the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus and an inherited form of Parkinson's disease (PD). As loss-of-function mutations in parkin are responsible for a familial variant of PD, conditions that affect wild-type parkin are likely to be associated with increased risk of idiopathic disease.
