Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of non-protein coding RNA molecules, which participate in diverse biological pathways. We hypothesized that miRNA-196a2 polymorphism is associated with the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Chinese population. In a case-control study of 549 PD patients and 736 control subjects frequency matched by age and gender, we genotyped the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
