    Sonja W Scholz

    Neurosci Lett 395:227-9. 2006
    ..No association between genotypes in codon 129 and IPD was detected in three distinct populations, suggesting that this PRNP polymorphism has no direct influence on the susceptibility to IPD...
  2. ncbi Parkin and PINK1 mutations in early-onset Parkinson's disease: comprehensive screening in publicly available cases and control
    J Brooks
    Laboratory of Neurogenetics, National Institute on Aging, 35 Convent Drive, 20892 Bethesda, USA
    J Med Genet 46:375-81. 2009
    ..The possibility that heterozygous mutations in these genes also predispose to disease or lower the age of disease onset has been suggested, but currently there is insufficient data to verify this hypothesis conclusively...
  3. ncbi SNCA variants are associated with increased risk for multiple system atrophy
    Sonja W Scholz
    Laboratory of Neurogenetics, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, 35 Convent Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
    Ann Neurol 65:610-4. 2009
    ..SNPs at the SNCA locus were significantly associated with risk for increased risk for the development of MSA (combined p = 5.5 x 10(-12); odds ratio 6.2) [corrected]...

    Nat Genet 41:1308-12. 2009
    ..14, P = 1.55 x 10(-5)). These data demonstrate an unequivocal role for common genetic variants in the etiology of typical PD and suggest population-specific genetic heterogeneity in this disease...

    Mattias Jakobsson
    Center for Computational Medicine and Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA
    Nature 451:998-1003. 2008
    ..Our results produce new inferences about inter-population variation, support the utility of CNVs in human population-genetic research, and serve as a genomic resource for human-genetic studies in diverse worldwide populations...
