The COMT Val158Met polymorphism as an associated risk factor for Parkinson's disease in Asian rather than Caucasian populations.

Neurology India - 1 Jan 2000

Lechun Lu, Yu Su, Pengling Hou, Changqi Huang

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene has been reported to be associated with the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). AIMS: To evaluate the associations of PD risk with COMT polymorphisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrieval of studies that investigated associations between COMT polymorphisms and PD was carried out. Studies were included if they met the eligibility criteria. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Data...
