BACKGROUND/AIMS: Several candidate genes were suggested to modify the susceptibility to both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Symptoms of dementia are found in approximately 30% of PD patients. Both apolipoprotein E (APO E) and ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (UCHL1) are neuropathogenic proteins for both diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of both...
