Abstract excerpt
Whole-exome sequencing recently identified a homozygous truncating mutation in Synaptojanin 1 (SYNJ1, PARK20), p.Arg258Gln, in 2 independent families with autosomal recessive young-onset parkinsonism with seizures and cognitive decline. This mutation's role in typical Parkinson's disease (PD) is unclear. We sequenced all coding exons and exon-intron boundaries of SYNJ1 gene in a total of 700 participants: 250...
