✦ Synopsis

The disorders of voice and speech in Parkinson's disease (PD) result from involvements in several subsystems including respiration, phonation, articulation, and prosody. [1][2][3] We investigated the feasibility of acoustic measures for the identification of voice and speech disorders in PD, using a quick vocal test consisting of sustained phonation, diadochokinetic task, and running speech. Various traditional and novel acoustic measurements have been designed in order to be gender independent, represent all speech subsystems, reduce the time required for voice investigation, and provide a reliable automated assessment in practice. 4

## Abstract The presynaptic dopamine transporter in nigral dopaminergic neurons confers susceptibility to the cytotoxic effects of the neurotoxic metabolite of 1‐methy1‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine. Polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter might influence the susceptibility to such toxins.

## 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

## 817 ated with increased risk for AD, at least in the Korean population. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the association between IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphism and AD observed in previous studies might be the result of linkage disequilibrium with a yet unidentified gene on chromosome 2.
