Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD) with early-onset may be caused by mutations in the parkin gene (PARK2). We have ascertained 87 Danish patients with an early-onset form of PD (age at onset < or =40 years, or < or =50 years if family history is positive) in a multicenter study in order to determine the frequency of PARK2 mutations. Analysis of the GTP cyclohydrolase I gene (GCH1) and the tyrosine...
