摘要: Background. Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's (AD) share pathological features, including amyloid-beta pathology. Amyloid-beta peptide is generated by sequential proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein (APP), genetic variations in the processing pathway genes have been found to increase risk AD; however, contribution PD unknown. Methods. The aim this study was investigate whether candidate polymorphisms five (ADAM10, BACE1, BACE2, PSEN2, CLU) involved APP affect a population-based cohort patients with incident control subjects from Norwegian ParkWest study. Results. We an association rs638405 BACE1 increased PD, thus providing novel link, at level, between pathology PD.
