title: Mutation analysis of microRNA-7 gene in Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the mutation of small sequence changes in microRNA-7 gene in Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
  
  
  METHODS
  We analyzed miR-7 variants in 225 PD patients from Chinese Han group by DNA sequence.
  
  
  RESULTS
  None of the patients had miR-7 variants.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MiR-7 variation is not associated with PD in Chinese patients.
