## Abstract A clinical overlap between Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) has prompted a discussion whether these conditions share common genetic susceptibility factors. Recently, the first genome‐wide association study in ET revealed a significant association with a variant in the
## Abstract Oxidative stress reactions may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The superoxide dismutases potentially play significant roles in PD by detoxifying superoxide radical. We developed genomic DNA and cDNA‐based sequencing assays to identify genetic variants in the
## Abstract In a case control study, we examined the association of DRD2 Taq1A and Taq1B polymorphisms and risk of PD, and evaluated the strength of linkage disequilibrium of the polymorphisms. The Taq1A and Taq1B polymorphisms were in strong linkage disequilibrium. There was, however, no significa
## Abstract The CYP2D6 polymorphism has been studied extensively in association with Parkinson's disease (PD), with no consistent results. Several explanations, such as differences in study design or bias in the selection of the control population, have been offered for these inconsistent results.
