Identification of Parkinson's disease candidate genes using CAESAR and screening of MAPT and SNCAIP in South African Parkinson's disease patients.

Abstract excerpt

Assuming that a significant cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) is genetic, genetic factors have been shown to account for <10% of all PD cases to date, and it is therefore necessary to identify novel genes. The aim of the present study was to identify PD candidate genes using a bioinformatic approach and to screen them for possible PD-causing mutations. The CAESAR (CAndidatE Search And Rank) program was used in...
