Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to examine the role of GCH1 among Indians affected with dopa responsive dystonia (DRD) and early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). The patients (n = 76 including 19 DRD and 36 EOPD) and controls (n = 138) were screened for variants in GCH1 by PCR amplification of exons, splice junctions and 1 kb upstream region followed by SSCP and DNA sequencing. Four novel variants (p.Met1Val,...
