Abstract excerpt
Studies have reported conflicting results about possible associations between variants in heme oxygenase (HMOX) genes and risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasians, and little is known about these associations in Asians. We genotyped the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2071746 and rs2071747 in HMOX1 and rs1051308 in HMOX2 in 583 Han Chinese with PD and 627 healthy controls using a customized...
