## Abstract Recent whole genome association studies provided little evidence that polymorphisms at the familial Parkinsonism loci influence the risk for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, these studies are not designed to detect the types of subtle effects that common variants may impose. Here, we
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
