Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Epigenetic modifications, specifically DNA methylation, have been implicated in the development of this disease. Genetic variants of DNA methyltransferase 3b (DNMT3b), one of the most important DNA methyltransferases, were shown to be associated with PD in a Brazilian population. However, it is unclear whether...
