PHF10 is one of the most important regulatory subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling protein complex, which controls the gene function and chromatin state in neurons. Two alternative RHF10 isoforms, PHF10-P and PHF10-S, replace each other in the complex to change the target gene pattern. Expression of the PHF10-P and PHF10-S transcripts in the nigrostriatal system and their ratio in blood lymphocytes were found to change in a mouse model of early clinical stage of PD as compared with control mice. Changes in PHF10-S level were also observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with early clinical stage of PD. A ratio of the PHF10-P and PHF10-S transcripts in peripheral blood cells was assumed to provide a potential marker of early stage PD.
