Abstract
- Genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD).In all, 54 cases were enrolled in the study, including PD patients carryingTwo classification methods were used; one was based on disease classification, with 26 patients in the PD group (n=12 G/G, n=14 G/A) and 28 in the HC group (n=15 G/G, n=13 G/A), and the other was based on genetic classification, with 27 patients in the G/G group and 27 in the G/A group. In the G/A group, there was a wide range of significant changes in fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity (RD), and mean diffusivity (MD) values (P0.05). There was also a significant decrease in FA in the PD-G/A group compared with the PD-G/G and HC-G/A groups (P0.05).There were more extensive brain white matter fiber damage and changes in PD patients; the G/A polymorphism may cause more extensive brain white matter damage.
