M.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Maraganore, D. M.; Farrer, M. J.; Ross, O. A. (2014)
      The best validated susceptibility variants for Parkinson's disease are located in the α-synuclein (SNCA) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) genes. Recently, a protective p.N551K-R1398H-K1423K haplotype in the ...
