Abstract excerpt
We present results of homozygosity mapping in two siblings affected with early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) and mutation screening of ATP13A2 in these and other Iranian EOPD patients. Genome-wide SNP homozygosity analysis revealed linkage to a locus that included ATP13A2, and sequencing of the gene revealed a novel p.Gln858*-causing mutation in the homozygous state in the siblings. Sequencing of the gene in...
