Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene, which encodes a chief reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging enzyme, has been reported to be associated with the risk of developing sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) in some Asian races and the synapsin III (SYN3) gene with some neuropsychiatric diseases. OBJECTIVE: To explore the associations between the MnSOD and SYN III variations and PD in two...
