L‐dopa increases α‐synuclein DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease patients in vivo and in vitro

BACKGROUND: Increasing gene dosages of α-synuclein induce familial Parkinson's disease (PD); thus, the hypothesis has been put forward that regulation of gene expression, in particular altered α-synuclein gene methylation, might be associated with sporadic PD and could be used as a biological marker...
