## Abstract Epidemiological studies have been consistent in showing that cigarette smoking is inversely associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas pesticide use is positively associated with PD. However, the relationship between PD and cigarette smoking remains poorly understood. Our objecti
## Abstract Alphaโsynuclein gene (__SNCA__) mutations cause familial Parkinsonism but the role of __SNCA__ variability in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) remains incompletely defined. We report a study of __SNCA__ genetic variation in 452 idiopathic PD cases and 245 controls. __SNCA__ copy numb
