Modeling Parkinson’s Disease in Drosophila: What Have We Learned for Dominant Traits?

Abstract excerpt

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is recognized as the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure or proven disease modifying therapy for PD. The recent discovery of a number of genes involved in both sporadic and familial forms of PD has enabled disease modeling in easily manipulable model systems. A variety of model systems have been developed to study the...
