Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are neurodegenerative diseases that may share genetic risk factors. The exon variant Aal58Val (rs17571) in CTSD was recently associated with AD, leading us to examine whether it also affects risk of ALS and PD. The rs17571 variant was genotyped using the ligase detection reaction in 569 Han Chinese patients with PD, 301...
