Abstract

Susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD) increases more than threefold in first-degree relatives of PD patients. Using a mouse model, we investigated in a proof-of-principle approach whether toxin exposure of F0 affects the F1 generation. We provide first evidence that disturbance of the nigrostriatal pathway can be transferred to the next generation.
