Abstract
The rs921451 and rs3837091 polymorphisms of the DDC gene promoter influence the motor response to l-dopa but do not significantly change peripheral pharmacokinetic parameters for l-dopa and dopamine. Our results suggest that DDC may be a genetic modifier of the l-dopa response in Parkinson's disease.
