Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphism of the CYP2D6 gene [phenotypically individuals are either poor metabolizers (PM) or extensive metabolizers (EM)] has been reported to be associated with susceptibility to Parkinson's disease. We analyzed CYP2D6 genes from Japanese patients and controls, and found that EM/PM polymorphism is not a suitable marker for populations with a low PM frequency. However, a novel mutant highly associated...
