Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in SNCA, MAPT and LRRK2 genes have recently been confirmed as risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD), although with small individual attributable risk. Here we investigated the association of PD with interactions between variants of these genes. METHODS: As part of a previous study of PD susceptibility genes 119 SNCA, MAPT, and LRRK2 haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms...
