Abstract excerpt
Interactions of transcriptions factors Nurr1, Pitx3, and EN1 are involved in the maturation and survival of adult midbrain dopaminergic neurons during a lifetime. The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in PITX3 gene in clinically diagnosed multisystem atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). In the group...
