## Abstract Autosomal recessive earlyβonset Parkinsonism (AREP) has been associated with mutations in the __Parkin__, __PINK1__, __DJβ1__, and __ATP13A2__ genes. We studied the prevalence of mutations in all four genes in 29 Chinese unrelated families with AREP using direct sequencing analysis and
The phenotypic spectrum of PINK1-associated Parkinsonism was studied in a family with homozygous (n = 4) or heterozygous (n = 3) PINK1 mutations. All homozygous mutation carriers were definitely affected; the heterozygous carriers were asymptomatic but displayed unequivocal signs of probable or poss
## Abstract Until now the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of vascular parkinsonism (VP) have been disputed. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether quantitative gait analysis can differentiate between the gait pattern of patients with VP and the gait pattern of patients with
