摘要
Background: Recently, a triplication of the a-synuclein locus was found associated with autosomal dominant Parkinson disease in a large family. Objective: To determine whether a triplication or some other dosage alteration in the alpha-synuclein gene is present in one or more patients with familial PD in a large multinational collective. Design: Retrospective recruitment of the largest families who were willing to cooperate with the study. Setting: Centers with specialization in movement disorders genetics. Patients: One hundred ninety unrelated patients with familial PD from Germany, Portugal, and Yugoslavia. Main Outcome Measures: a-Synuclein gene dosage values measured with real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: None of the samples showed et-synuclein triplication, duplication, or deletion. Conclusion: Alterations in a-synuclein gene dosage are rare in familial PD.
