Association of α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism and Parkinson's disease: Influence of Rep1 on age at onset
(2006)
The α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism was studied in patients and controls in an ethnic Greek population. There was an association of allele 2 with risk of Parkinson's disease (PD; adjusted odd ratio = 3.25; 95% CI = 1.80-5.87). ...
