Sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) is thought to have a major genetic component, but the variants involved remain mostly unknown. One possible reason for the difficulty in finding mutations underlying PD is that rare predominantly brain-situated somatic mutations underlie the disease; these mutations would be missed by analysing blood DNA only. To test the feasibility of looking for somatic mutations in PD brain...
