These include ALDH1A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase family H1 subfamily A1, also known as retinal dehydrogenase 1), PSMC4 (26S protease regulatory subunit 6B) and SKP1A (S-phase kinase-associated protein 1A), all of which exhibited reduced transcript levels in PD, and HSPA8 (heat shock 70 kDa protein 8, also known as heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein) whose transcript levels are elevated in PD (Molochnikov et al., 2012). The gene discussed is ALDH1A1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
