Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of mutations in PINK1 in Chinese Han people with sporadic early-onset Parkinsonism (EOP). METHODS: DNA sequencing was used to detect point mutations and small deletions/insertions, and quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to detect deletions/insertions and rearrangements in 149 patients and 150 healthy controls. RESULTS: Four heterozygous mutations in PINK1 were...
