Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: We recently showed that tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms across the SNCA locus were significantly associated with increased risk for Lewy body (LB) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases. However, the actual genetic variant(s) that underlie the observed associations remain elusive. METHODS: We used a bioinformatics algorithm to catalog structural variants in a region of SNCA intron 4,...
