We evaluated the immunohistochemical intensities of α-synuclein, phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-syn), dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein of 32 kDa (DARPP-32), calbindin-D 28k, calpain-cleaved carboxy-terminal 150-kDa spectrin fragment, and tyrosine hydroxylase in multiple system atrophy (MSA). This evidence concerns the gene TH and multiple system atrophy.
