Abstract
We report the results of a screen of 230 European familial index cases of Parkinson's disease for the recently described Ala53Thr mutation in the alpha-synuclein gene in an autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease kindred. No mutations were found from this broad white population, and we therefore conclude that although of great interest, this mutation is a very rare cause of familial Parkinson's disease.Entities:
