Analysis of Thr12Met and Ala1144Thr mutations of the ATP13A2 gene in Parkinson's disease patients in Xinjiang Uygur and Han ethnic groups.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the ATP13A2 gene is one of the most susceptible pathogenic genes of Parkinson's disease (PD). PARK9 mutations are found in early-onset PD and familial PD patients. Uygur and Han PD patients in the Xinjiang area were recruited as research subjects to study the differences in the Thr12Met and Ala1144Thr loci mutations of the ATP13A2 gene in these PD populations. This study...
