We studied POLG1 in 140 UK patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) and 279 Italian patients with PD and compared them to a UK control group (n = 207) and an Italian control group (n = 285). Our observations do not support a role for common POLG1 genetic variants in PD and indicate that dominant POLG1 mutations are a rare cause of parkinsonism in the general population.

Abstract
We studied POLG1 in 140 UK patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) and 279 Italian patients with PD and compared them to a UK control group (n = 207) and an Italian control group (n = 285). Our observations do not support a role for common POLG1 genetic variants in PD and indicate that dominant POLG1 mutations are a rare cause of parkinsonism in the general population.File in questo prodotto:
