α‐Synuclein V15A Variant in Familial Parkinson's Disease Exhibits a Weaker Lipid‐Binding Property

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The α-Synuclein (α-Syn) V15A variant has been found in two Caucasian families with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the significance of this missense variant remained unclear. OBJECTIVE: We sought to elucidate whether V15A could increase aggregation or change phospholipid affinity. METHODS: A sequencing analysis for the SNCA encoding α-Syn from 875 patients with PD and 324 control subjects was...
