The impact of genetic research on our understanding of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Until recently, genetics was thought to play a minor role in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Over the last decade, a number of genes that definitively cause PD have been identified, which has led to the generation of disease models based on pathogenic gene variants that recapitulate many features of the disease. These genetic studies have provided novel insight into potential mechanisms underlying...
