Abstract excerpt
Genetic variability at the 3' region of SNCA locus has been repeatedly associated with susceptibility to sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Accumulated evidence emphasizes the importance of SNCA dosage and expression levels in PD pathogenesis. However, the mechanism through which the 3' region of SNCA gene modulates the risk to develop sporadic PD remained elusive. We studied the effect of PD risk-associated...
