Abstract excerpt
The Glucagon Like Peptide 1 Receptor (GLP1R) plays a critical role in selective death of dopaminergic neurons and development of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, little is known about genetic associations of GLP1R gene polymorphisms with PD susceptibility. Therefore, this study aimed to verify whether GLP1R polymorphisms contribute to PD risk in a Chinese Han population. We recruited 518 individuals comprising...
