Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests that immune mediated inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, whether genetic variants of genes coding for inflammatory cytokines influence the risk of cognitive impairment in PD is still unknown. In the present study, we examined whether interleukin-10 (IL-10, 1082G/A), interleukin-17A (IL-17A) rs8193036, rs2275913 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)...
