Abstract excerpt
Previous genome-wide association studies in Caucasians suggest genetic loci of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR region may be associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, these gene-disease associations were limitedly reported in Asian populations. Herein, we investigated the effects of 5 top PD-associated genetic variants within HLA-DR region in Caucasians, including rs4248166, rs9268515, rs2395163,...
