Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). The nuclear encoded transcription factors A, B1 and B2 are essential for mitochondrial DNA replication. Sequence variants at the genes encoding TFAM, TFB1M and TFB2M could contribute to the risk of developing PD. Here, we searched for TFB1M and TFB2M nucleotide variants in a cohort of PD-patients (n=300) and healthy controls (n=200) from...
