Mutations in the DJ-1 Gene Associated with Autosomal Recessive Early-Onset Parkinsonism
The DJ-1 gene encodes a ubiquitous, highly conserved protein. Here, we show that DJ-1 mutations are associated with PARK7, a monogenic form of human parkinsonism. The function of the DJ-1 protein… Expand

DJ-1( PARK7), a novel gene for autosomal recessive, early onset parkinsonism
Abstract.Four chromosomal loci (PARK2, PARK6, PARK7, and PARK9) associated with autosomal recessive, early onset parkinsonism are known. We mapped the PARK7 locus to chromosome 1p36 in a large family… Expand

A common missense variant in the LRRK2 gene, Gly2385Arg, associated with Parkinson’s disease risk in Taiwan
Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are a cause of autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD). Whether LRRK2 variants influence susceptibility to the commoner, sporadic forms of PD remains largely unknown.… Expand

Parkinsonism after chronic exposure to the fungicide maneb (manganese ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate).
Permanent parkinsonism was observed in a man with chronic exposure to the fungicide maneb (manganese ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate). Symptoms developed at 37 years of age, two years after exposure had… Expand

The G6055A (G2019S) mutation in LRRK2 is frequent in both early and late onset Parkinson’s disease and originates from a common ancestor
Background: Mutations in the gene Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) were recently identified as the cause of PARK8 linked autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease. Objective: To study recurrent… Expand
