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 The multifunctional cytokine interleukinβ6 (ILβ6) is involved in inflammatory processes in the central nervous system and increased levels of ILβ6 have been found in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). It is known that estrogen inhibits the production of ILβ6, via action on estrogen
