Our analysis of the PARK16 locus in our AJ dataset confirms the finding of Satake et al (2009) [13] in a Japanese population and suggests that NUCKS1 is a promising candidate for PARK16. More recently, Tucci et al (2010) [39] analysed the coding regions of 3 candidate genes (NUCKS1, RAB7L1, and SLC41A1) at PARK16 in a British cohort of 182 PD patients. The gene discussed is SLC41A1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
