17. Genetic predisposition and risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases with special emphasis on Parkinson's disease and solvent-induced chronic toxic encephalopathy
Sammanfattning : The inter-individual variability in biotransformation, may lead to differences in activation and detoxification of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. Polymorphism studies in such genes were applied for Parkinson's disease (PD) and Chronic toxic encephalopathy (CTE), two diseases influenced by both genetic and enviromnental factors. LÄS MER
18. Cardiovascular Risk Genes in Prevention and Treatment Response
