Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic C9orf72-G4C2 repeat expansions are associated with ALS/FTD, but not with Parkinson's disease (PD); yet the possible link between intermediate repeat lengths and PD remains inconclusive. We aim to study the potential involvement of these repeats in PD. The number of C9orf72-repeats were determined by flanking and repeat-primed PCR assays, and the risk-haplotype was determined by SNP-array. Their...
