β¦ Synopsis
Analysis of the myoglobin gene from a large number of patients with cardiac disease disclosed a single substantive mutation. However, no evidence of biochemical or physiological dysfunction due to this mutation was detected. We conclude that, within the limits of presently available techniques, myoglobin mutations are unlikely to contribute substantially to the genotypic background of cardiac disease in the general population.

## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by a combination of motor symptoms. Identifying novel PD genetic risk factors is important for understanding its pathogenesis. A recent study suggested that up to 21% of subjects with PD
The promise of gene expression studies using microarray technology has inspired much new hope for finding complex diseases genes. It has become clear that complex diseases result from collective actions of many genetic and nongenetic factors. Therefore, genetic dissection of complex diseases should
