Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in known genes for inherited forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) account for <30% of familial PD (FPD) implying that more causal gene(s) remain to be identified. We attempted to discover the putative causal variant in an Indian family with autosomal-recessive juvenile Parkinsonism (ARJP), tested negative for mutations in PARK2, PINK1 and DJ1. METHODS: Whole exomes of two affected siblings were...
