      Context Identification and replication of susceptibility genes for Parkinson disease at the population level have been hampered by small studies with potential biases. alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) has been one of the most promising ...

P.; Dehem, M.; Montimurro, J. S.; Southwick, A.; Myers, R. M.; Trikalinos, T. A. (2006)
      Background: A genome-wide association study identified 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Parkinson's disease. Small-scale replication studies were largely non-confirmatory, but a ...
