## Abstract Monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) provide an opportunity to examine mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. Glutathione S‐transferase (GST) has detoxification and antioxidative functions. To screen genetic variations in GST for an effect on the onset age (OA) of PD, we typ

The letter by Papapetropoulos and colleagues presents an additional study correlating ␣-synuclein expression levels and sporadic PD. Previously we and others published studies of mRNA levels of SNCA in PD brains that have been performed using different methods. Some are in agreement with our results
## 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
