## Abstract Seven autosomal recessive genes associated with juvenile and youngโonset Levodopaโresponsive parkinsonism have been identified. Mutations in __PRKN__, __DJโ1__, and __PINK1__ are associated with a rather pure parkinsonian phenotype, and have a more benign course with sustained treatment
## Abstract Autosomalโrecessive earlyโonset Parkinsonism (AREP) due to __PINK1__ mutations is characterized by an earlyโonset, slowly progressive disease, with a good response to levodopa. Psychiatric and cognitive disturbances associated with AREP have rarely been reported in the literature. We de
