Mutations in the DJ-1 Gene Associated with Autosomal Recessive Early-Onset Parkinsonism
- V. Bonifati, P. Rizzu, +15 authors P. Heutink
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 21 November 2002
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
- V. Bonifati, P. Rizzu, +8 authors P. Heutink
- Biology, Medicine
- Neurological Sciences
- 1 October 2003
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

Objectives: The objective of the study is to investigate the mortality experience of Italian soccer players and to discuss the findings in the light of possible long term effects of doping. Methods:… Expand
A common missense variant in the LRRK2 gene, Gly2385Arg, associated with Parkinson’s disease risk in Taiwan
- A. Fonzo, Yah-Huei Wu-Chou, +10 authors V. Bonifati
- Biology, Medicine
- Neurogenetics
- 22 April 2006
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).
- G. Meco, V. Bonifati, N. Vanacore, E. Fabrizio
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Scandinavian journal of work, environment…
- 1 August 1994
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

- 12 July 2005
Objective: To assess the prevalence, nature, and associated phenotypes of PINK1 gene mutations in a large series of patients with early-onset (<50 years) parkinsonism. Methods: The authors studied… Expand
The G6055A (G2019S) mutation in LRRK2 is frequent in both early and late onset Parkinson’s disease and originates from a common ancestor
- S. Goldwurm, A. D. Fonzo, +27 authors V. Bonifati
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Medical Genetics
- 1 November 2005
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
