Abstract excerpt
Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS) is an autosomal recessive form of Parkinson's disease (PD) with juvenile onset of parkinsonism, often accompanied by extra clinical features such as supranuclear gaze palsy, dementia and generalised brain atrophy. Mutations in ATP13A2, associated with the PARK9 locus (chromosome 1p36) have been identified in KRS patients. ATP13A2 encodes a lysosomal P5B-type ATPase which has functional...
