OBJECTIVE: Parkinson disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, and in the majority of cases, the causes of PD are unknown. Coupled with impressive advances in statistical tools for analyzing large, complex data sets, well-designed microarray experiments are poised to make a big impact in the field of disease.....
