    Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Louisville Health Sciences Center, KY 40202, USA
    Am J Med Genet 96:407-11. 2000

    Parkinsonism Relat Disord 10:213-9. 2004
    ..Our data indicate the possibility of linkage disequilibrium between the C270T variation and a mutation in coding region of the BDNF gene and suggest that this gene may play a role in the development of familial PD...

    Genomics 83:454-60. 2004
    ..The frequency of common haplotypes from MAO-A and -B was different in PD and control group (p = 0.02). Our data indicate that MAO-A and -B may play a role in susceptibility to PD in our sample...
