Eight regions of the genome (PARK1‐8) have been implicated in autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of early‐onset Parkinson's disease. These forms constitute a few of all cases. However, except for a haplotype in six families (PARK3), no study has successfully mapped a gene or described mutations that contribute to the common late‐onset Parkinson's disease. Some have even suggested that a genetic component does not exist. We cross‐matched our nationwide genealogy database with a… CONTINUE READING
