Article: New genetics & genomics study findings reported from A. Degrandi and co-authors.

"A genetic marker screening panel, ParkScreen, optimized for simultaneous marker amplification, was constructed to test or exclude linkage in families with parkinsonism or Parkinson's disease, using only a few affected individuals per family. ParkScreen functionality was proven by detection of linkage to PARK2 in a family with known Parkin mutations, exclusion of linkage to several of the known loci, and detection of suggestive linkage to PARK8, PARK3, and PARK11 in some families," investigators in Bolzano, Italy report (see also Genetics & Genomics).

"In a novel approach, we also tested the ability of ParkScreen to screen patients originating from isolated ...
