Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) plays an important role in Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of the study was to evaluate PGC-1α gene expression in the peripheral blood of PD patients. We also investigated PGC-1α-related gene variants and identified whether they are associated with PGC-1α gene expression. METHODS: 259 PD patients and 253 healthy controls...
