Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, and mainly characterized by the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain substantia nigra and non-DA neurons in many other parts of the brain. Previous studies have shown that several genes associated with the causes of PD can influence neurite outgrowth. Mutations of PRKN (encoding parkin, an...
