## 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
## Abstract Missense mutations of the α‐synuclein gene have been reported to explain a few kindreds with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to identify mutations in our PD patients, we have screened the coding region and 5′flanking region of the gene. DNA samples from 50 patients
Stress scores were elicited from relatives living with Parkinsonian patients and correlated with various aspects of the patients' impairment. The (usually female) relatives looking after male patients reported higher levels of stress than husbands looking after their wives. In general, the best pred
