Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study reveals genetic risk underlying Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an unequivocal role for common genetic variants in the etiology of typical PD and population-specific genetic heterogeneity in this disease is suggested, and supporting evidence that common variation around LRRK2 modulates risk for PD is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson's disease and α‐synuclein expression

TL;DR: The clinical impact of α‐synuclein locus multiplications, and the implications that this has for Parkinson's disease pathogenesis are outlined; potential strategies for disease‐modifying therapies for this currently incurable disorder are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low frequency of alpha-synuclein mutations in familial Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Primers and methods for exonic sequencing of this gene were developed and the entire coding region of the gene was sequenced and no genetic variation was found, suggesting that NACP is not the chromosome 4 locus for disease.
