Approximately 5% of Parkinson's patients carry dominant mutations in the TMEM175 gene; these mutations would be implicated in a form of the disease that occurs after 50 years of age. This is what emerges from a research born from the collaboration between Irccs Neuromed of Pozzilli (Iss) and the ‘Adriano Buzzati Traverso' Institute of Genetics and Biophysics of the National Research Council of Naples (Cnr-Igb), financed by the Ministry of Health and whose results were published in the scientific journal Molecular Neurobiology.
