Abstract excerpt
Synaptic dysfunction is recognized as an early step in the pathophysiology of parkinsonism. Several genetic mutations affecting the integrity of synaptic proteins cause or increase the risk of developing disease. We have identified a candidate causative mutation in synaptic "SH3GL2 Interacting Protein 1" (SGIP1), linked to early-onset parkinsonism in a consanguineous Arab family. Additionally, affected siblings...
