Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D, a crucial molecule for brain function, is linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) and its pathogenesis, with its effects mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR).
- The study analyzed genetic variations in 231 PD patients and 161 healthy donors, focusing on six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to PD risk and symptoms.
- Findings indicated that the SNP rs2228570 is significantly associated with increased PD risk, while other SNPs are linked to specific treatment-related side effects, suggesting potential for personalized PD management through monitoring vitamin D levels and supplementation.
