Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the parkin gene and the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 gene (PINK1) have been identified as the most common causes of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease (EOPD). To investigate the presence of the parkin and PINK1 gene mutation(s) and to explore genotype-phenotype correlations in American Caucasian families with EOPD from North American, we screened these two genes in probands of six...
