Abstract excerpt
Homozygous germline mutations of the PARK2 gene are responsible for the development of early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Homozygous PARK2 mutations have been also detected in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). However, since heterozygous PARK2 germline mutations are present in a subset of non-PD individuals, the timing for the occurrence of two-hit PARK2 mutations in LADC progression is unclear. Therefore, we...
