In addition to confirming the previously identified asthma gene located on chromosome 17, researchers found another gene located on chromosome 1q31 was associated with an increased risk of childhood asthma in both children of European and African ancestry.
378 2.4 The Synuclein family in Parkinson disease The SNCA gene is located on chromosome 4q21-22 and is associated with susceptibility to PD and DLB. Alpha-synclein has two paralogous genes, beta- (SNCB; MIM#602569) and gamma-synuclein (SNCG; MIM#602998) with which it shares a highly conserved N-terminal domain.fter the detection of SNCA locus triplication, SNCA duplications were also reported in two families from France and Italy (Chartier-Harlin et al., 2004, Ibanez et al., 2004). Chartier-Harlin et al detected one duplication family among nine ADPD.
