To clarify the role of heredity and of some environment risk factors in the etiology of idiopathic Parkinson's disease, we performed a case-control study in two regions of southern Italy, Campania and Molise. We selected two controls for each parkinsonian patient, the patient's spouse and a sex- and

We studied a polymorphism in the dopamine transporter (DAT) gene in 236 Japanese patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and compared the results with 220 controls. The 1215A/G genotype of the DAT gene was significantly different between PD patients and controls, suggesting a possible involvement of
## Abstract Granulin protein plays an important role in neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival. Recently, it was shown that mutations in __granulin__ (__GRN__) gene cause tau‐negative frontotemporal dementia supporting the idea that granulin is involved in neurodegeneration. Here we have investiga
## Abstract Dementia is common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PDD). The etiology of PDD is still unclear, but exciting advances have been made in discovering pathogenetic components in Parkinson's disease (PD), implicating the role of genetic factors. It is, however, still controversial whet
