摘要
Sonic hedgehog (SHH) is involved in the induction and differentiation of nigrostriatale dopaminergic neurons. We have investigated the promoter, two putative enhancer elements and the coding region of SHH for mutations in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). None of the identified sequence variations were present at a significantly different frequency in PD patients compared to healthy individuals, suggesting that they are not involved in the pathogenesis of PD.
