| Abstract: | Background The extended tau haplotype (H1) that covers the entire human microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene has been implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). Nevertheless, controversial results, such as two studies in Greek
populations with opposite effects, have been reported. Therefore, we set out to determine whether the H1 haplotype and additional
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) included in H1 are associated with PD in a sample of Greek patients. |
