Variants in Three Estrogen-Related Genes Linked to Parkinson's in Women
MORE:
"Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a possible connection between increased risk for Parkinson's disease and variants in three genes that control estrogen production and activity in the body.
The findings will be presented Tuesday at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in San Diego.
'We and other investigators have found evidence that estrogen helps protect women from developing Parkinson's,' says Walter Rocca, M.D., M.P.H., Mayo Clinic neurologist and epidemiologist, and lead study investigator. 'So, a gene variant that would decrease estrogen production or activity would put those women at greater risk for the disease.'"
