## Abstract Familial Parkinsonism (__PARK__) genes are strong candidates for conferring susceptibility to common forms of PD. However, most studies to date have provided little evidence that their common variants substantially influence disease risk. Recently, mutations were described in the gene,
## Abstract ## Background: Deletions and duplications of single exons or exon groups account for a large proportion of the __PARK2__ gene mutations described in juvenile autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD). ## Methods: We analyzed rearrangements in exons 1 to 12 of the __PARK2__ gene in
## Abstract Mutations in __LRRK2__ (__leucineβrich repeat kinase 2__) have been associated with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD) and cluster in several 3β² exons of the gene. The majority of mutations have been detected in lateβonset cases (age at onset >50 years). We screened 5 of the 51
