TMEM230: How does it fit in the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease?

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the transmembrane protein 230 (TMEM230) gene were recently identified in a large Canadian pedigree and 7 smaller Chinese families, nominating TMEM230 as the third gene causing a Mendelian form of late onset Parkinson's disease (PD) with typical Lewy-body pathology (after synuclein alpha (SNCA) and leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)).
