Abstract excerpt

Discovering genes following Medelian inheritance, such as autosomal dominant-synuclein and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene, or autosomal recessive Parkin, P-TEN-induced putative kinase 1 gene and Daisuke-Junko 1 gene, has provided great insights into the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Genes found to be associated with PD through investigating genetic polymorphisms or via the whole genome association...
