## Communicated by Christine Van Broeckhoven Autosomal recessive mutations in the parkin gene (PARK2) have been identified as a common cause of familial and also sporadic, early-onset parkinsonism (EOPD): point mutations, exonic deletions, and duplications or triplications have been described. Her
## Abstract Early‐onset autosomal recessive parkinsonism is associated with parkin gene mutations. Different parkin mutations occur in many ethnic backgrounds; however, the phenotype may vary. We studied 102 young‐onset (age at onset <60 years) Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. From 102 patients,
