2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease that is most often idiopathic, but a significant proportion (5-10%) of cases are caused by highly penetrant monogenic mutations. Point mutations and multiplications of the SNCA gene, encoding α-synuclein (αSyn), are known to cause early onset aggressive familial PD. The recently described G51D mutation is particularly aggressive resulting in symptoms a...
