Pathogenic mutations and non-pathogenic DNA polymorphisms in the most common neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract excerpt

In the past, each nucleotide change causing amino acid substitution in a gene in which other mutations responsible for a neurodegenerative disorder had been found was considered as a causative mutation. However, in recent years, mainly due to the progress of the Human Genome Project (HGP), numerous DNA variants have been identified in many neurodegenerative disorders. Some of them likely belong to the class of...
