Abstract excerpt
Sporadic Parkinson's disease, characterised by a decline in dopamine, usually manifests in people over 65 years of age. Although 10% of cases have a genetic (familial) basis, most PD is sporadic. Genome sequencing studies have associated several genetic variants with sporadic PD. Our aim was to analyse the promoter region of the ATG16L1 and ATG5 genes in sporadic PD patients and ethnically matched controls....
