Rare mutations in PARK loci genes cause Parkinson's disease (PD) in some families and isolated populations. We investigated the association of common variants in PARK loci and related genes with PD susceptibility and age at onset in an outbred population. A total of 1,103 PD cases from the upper Mid

## Abstract Incidence rates of Parkinson's disease are higher in men than in women at all ages, and these differences may be a result of the neuroprotective effects of estrogen on the nigrostriatal pathway. We investigated the association of common variants in 4 estrogenβrelated genes with Parkinso
## Abstract We report on an evaluation of coding variants within the parkin gene to assess their frequency in a North American clinical series of 313 Parkinson's disease (PD) cases and 192 unrelated controls. We hypothesized that the carrier frequency of parkin coding mutations, exon deletions, or
