Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder with a substantial genetic component (which is more pronounced in earlier onset cases). In addition to three well-confirmed PD genes (SNCA, parkin and DJ-1), mutations in the PTEN Induced Kinase (PINK1) gene have recently been identified in families with recessive early onset PD. We tested the hypothesis that three common coding...
