Essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the most common movement disorders and show clinical, genetic, and pathophysiological overlap. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing, Nogo receptor-interacting protein gene (LINGO1) are associated with ET. LINGO1 is overexpressed in the substantia nigra (SN) of PD patients and inhibition of LINGO1 confers neuroprotection in a rodent model of PD. In this study we test the hypothesis whether SNPs in the LINGO1 gene that are associated with ET are also associated with PD. Three large German case control samples from Kiel, Lubeck, and Tubingen (total: 1,798 cases and 1,482 controls) were genotyped for the three LINGO1 SNPs associated with ET. Association was assessed using allele- and genotype-based tests in each of the three samples separately, in the combined sample, and in subsets of patients with early-onset PD (
