In a population-based case-control study, we found a reversal of the association of cigarette smoking with Parkinson's disease (PD) in relation to the monoamine oxidase B intron 13 genetic polymorphism. A reduced PD risk related to pack-years of smoking was detected for persons with the G allele, whereas an opposite effect was found among persons with the A allele. These results indicate an unexplained interaction between cigarette smoking and this genetic polymorphism.

Abstract

In a population-based case-control study, we found a reversal of the association of cigarette smoking with Parkinson's disease (PD) in relation to the monoamine oxidase B intron 13 genetic polymorphism. A reduced PD risk related to pack-years of smoking was detected for persons with the G allele, whereas an opposite effect was found among persons with the A allele. These results indicate an unexplained interaction between cigarette smoking and this genetic polymorphism.
