Recent genome-wide association studies of Parkinson's disease have nominated 3 new susceptibility loci (PARK16-18) and confirmed 2 known risk genes (MAPT and SNCA) in populations of European ancestry. We sought to replicate these findings. We genotyped single-nucleotide polymorphisms in each of these genes/loci in 1445 Parkinson's disease patients and 1161 controls from northern Spain. Logistic regression was...
