Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory processes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), including the development of PD-associated cognitive impairment. Whether genetic variants of inflammatory cytokine genes influence the risk of cognitive impairment in PD is unknown. In this study, we investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-10 promoter (rs1800871 and rs1800872) and in the IL-18...
