1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The neuropathies Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and schizophrenia (SCZ) have different pathological mechanisms but share some common neurodegenerative features, such as gradual loss of neuronal structure and function. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), a gene located in the chromosomal region 9q34, plays a crucial role in the process of converting dopamine into norepinephrine...
