Abstract
Mutations in DJ-1are a cause of autosomal recessive parkinsonism. Polymorphism of genes implicated in hereditary forms of parkinsonism may be a predisposing factor in sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). The authors analyzed whether a polymorphism (g.168_185del) within exon 1 of DJ-1contributes to the risk of sporadic PD in a Finnish case-control series. This gene does not play a major role in the genetic predisposition to PD in this population.
