- Abstract
Deng H, Le WD, Zhang X, Pan TH, Jankovic J. G309D and W437OPAPINK1mutations in Caucasian Parkinson's disease patients.Acta Neurol Scand 2005: 111: 351–352.© Blackwell Munksgaard 2005.To determine whether the G309D and W437OPA mutations inPINK1gene are present in American Caucasian population of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).We searched for the G309D and W437OPA mutation by sequencing the regions of interest in thePINK1gene in 237 unrelated Caucasian patients.None of the 237 samples showed the G309D or W437OPA mutations.The G309D and W437OPA mutations inPINK1gene probably do not represent common causes of familial or sporadic PD in a Caucasian population.
