Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Synaptojanin 1 is encoded by the SYNJ1(MIM 604297) and plays a major role in phosphorylation and recycling of synaptic vesicles. Mutation of SYNJ1 is associated with two distinct phenotypes; a known homozygous missense mutation (p.Arg258Gln) associated with early-onset Parkinson disease (MIM 615530), whereas mutation with complete loss of SYNJ1 function result in a lethal neurodegenerative disease...
