Table 1. Vital Statistics of the cases used in this study.
Samples from a total of 16 human brains, 8 PDs (4 male and 4 female) and 8 controls (4 male and 4 female) were studied. These were selected from available material after screening total RNA extracted from a small region of the SN for integrity of 18S and 28S species using an Agilent bioanalyzer. We also matched the cases for age and post mortem interval (PMI) (PD Female age, 75 ± 4.4, PMI, 20.5 ± 2.5; PD Male age 77 ± 6.3, PMI 13.85 ± 1.7; Con Female age 68 ± 3.3, PMI 21.8 ± 0.8; Con Male age 70.2 ± 6.3, PMI 18.11 ± 3.6).
