OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the mutation of small sequence changes in microRNA-7 gene in Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
METHODS:
We analyzed miR-7 variants in 225 PD patients from Chinese Han group by DNA sequence.
RESULTS:
None of the patients had miR-7 variants.
CONCLUSION
MiR-7 variation is not associated with PD in Chinese patients.
