Abstract excerpt
Genomic multiplication of the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) locus is one cause of familial Parkinson disease (PD). We performed detailed genomic, SNCA expression level, clinical, neuropsychological and functional imaging analyses of a parkinsonian kindred with a known duplication of the SNCA locus. We demonstrated that the duplication spanned 4.928 Mb (encompassing 31 known and putative genes) and was the largest...
