Risk variants of the α-synuclein locus and REM sleep behavior disorder in Parkinson’s disease: a genetic association study

Risk variants of the α-synuclein locus and REM sleep behavior disorder in Parkinson’s disease: a genetic association study

Abstract Background Parkinson’s disease is a heterogeneous disorder where genetic factors may underlie clinical variability. Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia strongly linked to synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease. We hypothesized that SNCA variants confer...
