Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Despite many data suggesting a role of genetic factors in the risk for essential tremor (ET), the responsible genes have not been identified. We analyzed in ET Spanish families three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): DRD3 rs6280, SLC1A2 rs3794087, and MAPT rs1052553) previously related to an increased risk for developing the disease. METHODS: We recruited 45 subjects with ET and 13...
