Parkinson's disease risk and severity is tied to a channel in cells' 'recycling centers
E-Mail Many genetic mutations have been found to be associated with a persons risk of developing Parkinsons disease. Yet for most of these variants, the mechanism through which they act remains unclear. Now a new study in Nature led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania has revealed how two different variations--one that increases disease risk and leads to more severe disease in people who develop Parkinsons and another that reduces risk--manifest in the body. The work, led by Dejia...
