A missense mutation (L166P) in DJ‐1, linked to familial Parkinson's disease, confers reduced protein stability and impairs homo‐oligomerization
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
The identification of genetic mutations responsible for rare familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) have provided tremendous insight into the molecular pathogenesis of this disorder. Mutations in the DJ-1 gene cause autosomal recessive early onset PD in two European families. A Dutch kindred displays a large homozygous genomic deletion encompassing exons 1-5 of the DJ-1 gene, whereas an Italian kindred...
