Abstract excerpt
Different genetic backgrounds can modify the effect of mutated genes. Human α-synuclein (SNCA) gene encodes α-synuclein, and its oligomeric complexes accumulate with age and mediate the disruption of cellular homeostasis, resulting in the neuronal death that is characteristic of Parkinson's Disease. Polymorphic variants modulate this complex pathologic mechanism. Previously, we constructed five transgenic...
