An association analysis of the rs1572931 polymorphism of the <i><scp>RAB</scp>7L1</i> gene in Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple system atrophy in China

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recently, the rs1572931 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the putative promoter of the member RAS oncogene family-like 1 (RAB7L1) gene was reported to be associated with reduced risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
