## Abstract The expression of α‐synuclein gene can be influenced by the genomic load and/or epigenetic factors. By using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction techniques, we demonstrated that the α‐synuclein gene mRNA expression in sporadic PD did not differ from healthy controls (median

## Abstract Familial Parkinsonism (__PARK__) genes are strong candidates for conferring susceptibility to common forms of PD. However, most studies to date have provided little evidence that their common variants substantially influence disease risk. Recently, mutations were described in the gene,
## Abstract α‐Synuclein is one of the main components of Lewy bodies, a pathological marker of Parkinson's disease (PD). Certain missense mutations of the α‐synuclein gene cause familial PD, but the role of the gene in sporadic PD is still controversial. We scrutinized polymorphisms of the α‐synucl
## Abstract ## Background: Deletions and duplications of single exons or exon groups account for a large proportion of the __PARK2__ gene mutations described in juvenile autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD). ## Methods: We analyzed rearrangements in exons 1 to 12 of the __PARK2__ gene in
