Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with a strong genetic component, for which most known disease-associated variants are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertions and deletions (indels). DNA repetitive elements account for >50% of the human genome; however, little is known of their contribution to Parkinson's disease aetiology. While select short tandem repeats (STRs)...
