Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8), sonic hedgehog (SHH) and nodal signalling pathways play key roles in both development and survival of dopaminergic neurons. Both heterozygous mutations in autosomal recessively inherited Parkinson's disease (PD) genes such as parkin or PINK1 and exposure to exog...
