Genetic clues to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
Recent years have seen an explosion in the rate of discovery of genetic defects linked to Parkinson's disease. These breakthroughs have not provided a direct explanation for the disease process. Nevertheless, they have helped transform Parkinson's disease research by providing tangible clues to the neurobiology of the disorder.
