We measured striatal dopamine transporter binding using [(123)I]ioflupane and SPECT in patients with Parkinson's disease associated with the LRRK2 (PARK8) Gly2019Ser gene mutation (LRRK2-PD) and in gene-negative patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) of comparable disease duration and se
## 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 This study investigated whether abnormalities in serotonin transporter binding occur in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with concurrent depression. We estimated serotonin transporter levels in seven clinically depressed early‐stage PD patients and in seven healthy matched‐control subj
