Abstract excerpt
Whole-exome sequencing of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients has revealed that the frequency of GTP-cyclohydrolase I (GCH1) variants was significantly higher in patients than in controls. GCH1 rs11158026 was also found to increase the risk of PD. To investigate genetic contribution of dopa-responsive dystonia-related genes to PD, GCH1, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were tested in PD patients. A total of 859 study...
