Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the polymorphism distribution of Val-9Ala and Ile+58Thr of the Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) gene among subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) by analyses of genders and clinical severity. DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined the DNA genotypes of Val-9Ala and Ile+58Thr from 295 PD subjects and 111 controls by nucleotide sequencing and BsaWI restriction. RESULTS: Ala/Ala homozygosity was...
