A study on familial Parkinson disease (PD) described four variants in the gene TMEM230 (Chr. 20p13) as cause of PD (1). The aim of this study was to test if variants in the TEMEM230 gene are associated with PD in two independent American European datasets. No variants in the TMEM230 region were found associated with PD, age at onset or cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein levels.
