Regulatory rare variants of the dopaminergic gene ANKK1 as potential risk factors for Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by cerebral dopamine depletion that causes motor and cognitive deficits. The dopamine-related gene ANKK1 has been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders with a dopaminergic deficiency in the striatum. This study aims to define the contribution o...
