TRIPLICATION; By quantitative PCR amplification of SNCA exons in an individual with parkinsonism from a family reported by Waters and Miller [Ann. Neurol. 35: 59-64 (1994)], Singleton et al. [Science 302: 841 (2003)] found evidence consistent with whole gene triplication. The triplicated region contains an estimated 17 genes, including SNCA. Carriers of the triplication are predicted to have 4 fully functional copies of SNCA, with doubling of the effective load of the estimated 17 genes. The authors suggested that increased dosage of SNCA is the cause of PD in this family, and noted that the disease process may resemble the etiology of Alzheimer disease in Down syndrome (190685) with overexpression of the APP gene due to chromosome 21 trisomy.
