A new alpha-synuclein missense variant (Thr72Met) in two Turkish families with Parkinson's disease

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Missense variants and multiplications of the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) are established as rare causes of autosomal dominant forms of Parkinson's Disease (PD). METHODS: Two families of Turkish origins with PD were studied; the SNCA coding region was analyzed by Sanger sequencing, and by whole exome sequencing (WES) in the index patient of the first and the second family, respectively....
