Sleep attacks are a common yet only recently recognized phenomenon in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Initially reported to occur only with particular dopamine agonists, sleep attacks have been observed with all dopaminergic drugs. [1][2][3] In the majority of affected patients, sleep attack
We read with interest the article by Grevle and colleagues, 1 reporting in Norway an association between the variant allele A1 of the TaqI A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) located in the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene and Parkinson's disease (PD). Similar findings have been report
## 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
