Description : Parkinson disease was first described by James Parkinson in 1817. It is the second
most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer disease (AD; 104300), affecting
approximately 1% of the population over age 50 (Polymeropoulos et al., 1996). - Reviews
Warner and Schapira (2003) reviewed the genetic and environmental causes of Parkinson
disease. Feany (2004) reviewed the genetics of Parkinson disease and provided a speculative
model of interactions among proteins implicated in PD. Lees et al. (2009) provided
a review of Parkinson disease, with emphasis on diagnosis, neuropathology, and treatment.
- Genetic Heterogeneity of Parkinson Disease Several gene loci implicated in autosomal
dominant forms of Parkinson disease have been identified, including PARK1 (168601)
and PARK4, due to mutation in or triplication of the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA; 163890),
respectively, on 4q22.1; PARK5 (191342), due to mutation in the UCHL1 gene on 4p14;
PARK8 (607060), due to mutation in the LRRK2 gene (609007) on 12q12; PARK11 (607688),
due to mutation in the GIGYF2 gene (612003) on 2q37; and PARK13 (610297), due to mutation
in the HTRA2 gene (606441) on 2p12. PARK17 (614203) is caused by mutation in the VPS35
gene (601501) on chromosome 16q12, and PARK18 (614251) is caused by mutation in the
EIF4G1 gene (600495) on chromosome 3q27. Several loci for autosomal recessive early-onset
Parkinson disease have been identified: PARK2 (600116), caused by mutation in the
gene encoding parkin (PARK2; 602544) on 6q25.2-q27; PARK6 (605909), caused by mutation
in the PINK1 gene (608309) on 1p36; PARK7 (606324), caused by mutation in the DJ1
gene (PARK7; 602533) on 1p36; PARK14 (612953), caused by mutation in the PLA2G6 gene
(603604) on 22q13; PARK15 (260300), caused by mutation in the FBXO7 gene (605648)
on 22q12-q13; PARK19 (615528), caused by mutation in the DNAJC6 gene (608375) on 1p32;
and PARK20 (615530), caused by mutation in the SYNJ1 gene (604297) on 21q22.;
Inheritance : Multifactorial; Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the ataxin 2 gene (ATXN2, 601517.0001); Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the acid beta glucosidase gene (GBA, 606463.0001); Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the TATA box binding protein gene (TBP, 600075.0001); Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the alcohol dehydrogenase IC, gamma polypeptide
gene (ADH1C, 103730.0003); Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the microtubule-associated protein tau gene
(MAPT, 157140.0021);
