Abstract excerpt
The discoveries of mutations in SNCA were seminal findings that resulted in the knowledge that α-synuclein (αS) is the major component of Parkinson's disease-associated Lewy bodies. Since the pathologic roles of these protein inclusions and SNCA mutations are not completely established, we characterized the aggregation properties of the recently identified SNCA mutations, H50Q and G51D, to provide novel insights....
