Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Aggregation and fibrillization of the alpha-synuclein protein (encoded by the SNCA gene) may represent key events in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). Variability in the length of a dinucleotide repeat sequence (REP1) within the SNCA promoter confers susceptibility to sporad...
