A systematic review of associations between common SNCA variants and clinical heterogeneity in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract There is great heterogeneity in both the clinical presentation and rate of disease progression among patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This can pose prognostic difficulties in a clinical setting, and a greater understanding of the risk factors that contribute to modify disease course...
