Abstract excerpt
The importance of ATP13A2 (PARK9) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has emerged with the discovery that mutations in this gene cause Kufor-Rakeb syndrome, an autosomal recessive, juvenile-onset form of parkinsonism associated with the additional clinical triad of spasticity, supranuclear gaze palsy, and dementia. Eleven independent kindreds with homozygous or compound heterozygous ATP13A2 mutations have been...
