The polymorphisms located within common susceptibility variants--the SNCA, MAPT, LRRK2, GBA, PARK16,
BST1, DGKQ, and STK39 genes--exhibit the strongest association with sporadic PD [8-11].

It was reported that transcription factors such as Nanog, Rex1, Fzd9, Oct4, Sox2 and
Bst1 genes were essential in pluripotency maintenance as well as self-renewal (Safwani et al., 2012).
The
bst1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays an important role in this process at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Recently, we proposed a novel mechanism for the promotion of the migration of BM-MSCs via the scrapie responsive gene 1 (SCRG1)/bone marrow stromal cell antigen 1 (
BST1) axis through the activation of the FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in an autocrine/paracrine manner [25].
