Abstract excerpt
Alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) polymorphisms have been associated with the common sporadic form of Parkinson's disease (PD). We searched for DNA variants at the SNCA 3' UTR through single strand conformation analysis and direct sequencing in a cohort of Spanish PD patients and controls. We have genotyped the rs356165 SNCA 3' UTR polymorphism in a total of 1,135 PD patients and 772 healthy controls from two Spanish...
