Article Synopsis
- DNA variations in the fibroblast growth factor 20 gene, particularly the rs12720208 SNP, have been studied for their potential link to Parkinson's disease (PD).
- Previous attempts to replicate the association in various populations were unsuccessful.
- In this study involving 520 PD patients and 520 healthy controls from Iran, significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies were found, indicating that rs12720208 might be a risk factor for PD specifically in the Iranian population.
