The landscape of Parkin variants reveals pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in Parkin (PARK2), which encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase implicated in mitophagy, are the most common cause of early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). Hundreds of naturally occurring Parkin variants have been reported, both in Parkinson's disease (PD) patient and population databases. However, the effects of the majority of these variants on the function of Parkin and in PD pathogenesis remain unknown....
