Abstract excerpt
We investigated a large family with levodopa-responsive, Lewy body parkinsonism in which the disease segregates as an apparent autosomal dominant trait. After performing a genome screen, we identified a chromosome 4p haplotype that segregates with the disease. However, this haplotype also occurs...
