We have found for example one gene variant that affects the size of the Putamen a region near the centre of the brain
The Putamen is partly responsible for movement and learning and is implicated in Parkinson's disease. This finding opens up new avenues for research in this disease by giving new clues about the biological mechanisms involved.
Of the genetic associations found the largest effect was seen for the Putamen a subcortical region located at the base of the forebrain
