Therefore, we analyzed the expression of five alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) transcripts, SNCAtv1, SNCAtv2, SNCAtv3, SNCA126, and SNCA112, in 45 LBD and control temporal cortex samples and in the blood of 72 DLB, 59 PD, and 54 control subjects. This evidence concerns the gene SNCA and Parkinson disease.
