Abstract excerpt
Although family history is a well-established risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), fewer than 5% of PD cases can be attributed to known genetic mutations. The etiology for the remainder of PD cases is unclear; however, neuronal accumulation of the protein α-synuclein is common to nearly all patients, implicating pathways that influence α-synuclein in PD pathogenesis. We report a genome-wide significant...
