Neurobiology: gene discovery offers tentative clues to Parkinson's
Article Abstract:
The alpha-synuclein genetic mutation has been isolated as a cause of the degeneration of the dopamine neurotransmitters, leading to Parkinsonism. Scientists are wary of predicting the ultimate utility of the finding, however, pending long-term studies of transgenic animals such as mice.
