No pathogenic mutations in the persyn gene in Parkinson's disease

The persyn ( γ-synuclein) gene is highly homologous to the α-synuclein gene and is highly expressed in the nervous system. It is therefore, an excellent candidate gene for Parkinson's disease. However, we have sequenced the gene in a large number of families with parkinsonism and failed to find...

Zusammenfassung:	The persyn ( γ-synuclein) gene is highly homologous to the α-synuclein gene and is highly expressed in the nervous system. It is therefore, an excellent candidate gene for Parkinson's disease. However, we have sequenced the gene in a large number of families with parkinsonism and failed to find pathogenic mutations.
