Özet

Objective: A functional single nucleotide polymorphism, rs1611115, in the dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) gene, is reported to regulate plasma enzyme activity levels. Mere, we report the first evaluation of this association in patients with early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) and healthy controls in the Turkish population.
