Abstract

Contradictory evidence has been reported on the role of the polymorphic mixed dinucleotide repeat (NACP-REP1) of the alpha-synuclein gene as a risk factor for sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study we genotyped the NACP-REP1 polymorphism in 189 PD patients from southern Italy and 182 healthy control subjects. We failed to demonstrate an association of any NACP-REP1 allele with PD.
