Abstract
Fifty-two patients that had ParkinsonTs disease with autosomal dominant type of inheritance were analyzed for the presence of duplications and triplications in exons 4--6 of alpha-synuclein gene using real-time PCR with Taq-Man probes. No mutations involving the examined exons dosage were revealed in alpha-synuclein gene. Thus, mutations modifying copy number of alpha-synuclein gene do not significantly affect the pathogenesis of the autosomal dominant form of ParkinsonTs disease in patients from Russia.
