Recently, five novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs10937625 in <i>STK32B</i> (serine/threonine kinase 32B), rs17590046 in <i>PPARGC1A</i> (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha), and rs12764057, rs10822974, and rs7903491 in <i>CTNNA3</i> (catenin alpha 3), were found to be associated with increased risk of essential tremor (ET) in a genome-wide association study (GWAS)in individuals of Caucasian ancestry.
And no associations were detected between rs17590046 (genotype p = 0.794; allele p = 0.791), rs12764057 (genotype p = 0.337; allele p = 0.337), rs10822974 (genotype p = 0.102; allele p = 0.100) and ET in Chinese population individually.
