Restoring Parkin Function: An AAV Gene Therapy Approach for Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease
2026-07-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in PRKN gene (encoding Parkin protein) cause early-onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD). Parkin is a crucial component of PINK1-Parkin pathway, which marks damaged mitochondria for degradation via mitophagy. Without functional Parkin, damaged mitochondria accumulate, causing oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. <h4>Objective</h4> Investigate Parkin gene r...
