Gain-of-function mutations of alpha-synuclein (SNCA) are known to trigger Parkinson’s disease (PD) with striatal dopaminergic deficits and a reduction of spontaneous movements. The longest size variant (allele 2) of the complex microsatellite repeat Rep1 within the SNCA gene promoter is known to confer a PD risk. We now observed this Rep1 allele 2 to show significantly decreased frequency in restless...

Experimental data suggest that ghrelin has neuroprotective potential in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD patients show delayed gastric emptying and other symptoms that may relate to disturbed excretion of ghrelin. No data are available...
