INTRODUCTION: Dopamine and glutamate are crucial neurotransmitters in Parkinson disease (PD). While recent large meta-analyses reported that genetic variation of dopamine (DRD2, DRD3) and glutamine (NMDA, GRIN2B) neurotransmitter receptors was not associated with PD risk, they could conceivably influence PD phenotype. We studied the association of these receptor polymorphisms relating to PD age of onset. METHODS:...
