Catechol O-Methyltransferase val158met Genotype Influences Frontoparietal Activity during Planning in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
2007
Journal of Neuroscience
Our previous work suggests that a common functional polymorphism (val(158)met) within the catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene underlies some of this executive heterogeneity. ...
We scanned 31 patients with early PD who were homozygous for either valine (val) (n = 16) or methionine (met) (n = 15) at the COMT val(158)met polymorphism during performance of an executive task comprising ...
One highly plausible hypothesis is that this heterogeneity has a genetic basis, and indeed our own previous work has demonstrated that a common polymorphism in the catechol O-methyltransferase gene (COMT ...
