Dear Editor,rnRecently,several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs;rs34094401 on RAD51B,rs41309351 on CPXM1,rs143555311 on MPHOSPH10,rs141620200 on SER-PINA1,and rs2424913 on DNMT3B) have been associated with Parkinson\'s disease (PD) in Caucasians [1-3].Considering the genetic variance among different ethnic populations,it is essential to know whether these candidate SNPs are also associated with PD in other ethnic cohorts.Therefore,we investigated these newly-reported risk SNPs in 249 PD patients and 239 controls to test their association with PD.
