BACKGROUND: The rs616147 polymorphism of the myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic protein (MOBP) gene locus has been associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two common neurodegenerative disorders that share features regarding their etiology, pathophysiology, and genetic backgrounds. While the MOBP rs616147 polymorphism has been associated with ALS, little is known about its role in PD. OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of MOBP rs616147 on PD risk. METHODS: This case-control comparison study consists of 358 PD-affected cases and 358 controls from the Neurology Clinic of the University Hospital of Larissa, University of Thessaly, Faculty of Medicine, in Greece. The diagnosis of PD was made by a specialist neurologist according to the UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank's clinical criteria. All the participants were genotyped for the MOBP rs616147. Furthermore, in order to validate our results, we genotyped 327 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) for MOBP rs616147 and compared them with the control group. RESULTS: According to the univariate analysis, there was a significant association between rs616147 and PD in the dominant (OR [95% C.I.] = 0.70 [0.52–0.94], p =.018), the overdominant (OR [95% C.I.] = 0.68 [0.50–0.92], p =.011), and in the codominant (G/A VS G/G; OR [95% C.I.] = 0.66 [0.48–0.91], p =.035) modes of inheritance. In contrast, there was no association between the MOBP rs616147 polymorphism and AD. CONCLUSIONS: We provide preliminary results associating MOBP rs616147 genetic variant with PD. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
