## Abstract Pathogenic __PINK1__ mutations have been described in PARK6‐linked Parkinson's disease (PD) patients of Asian origin. However, data on the frequency of __PINK1__ mutations in sporadic early‐onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) Asian patients are lacking. The objectives of this study were to
## Abstract To identify the underlying genetic cause in a consanguineous family with apparently recessively inherited dystonia, we performed genome‐wide homozygosity mapping. This revealed 2 candidate regions including the __THAP1__ gene, where heterozygous mutations cause dystonia 6. A homozygous
## Abstract Data on the frequency of __PINK1__ mutations in Brazilian patients with early‐onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) are lacking. The aim of this report was to investigate mutations of the __PINK1__ gene in a cohort of Brazilian patients with EOPD. Sixty consecutive familial or sporadic EOPD
## Abstract Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the __PINK1__ gene represent the second most frequent cause of autosomal recessive parkinsonism after __Parkin__. The phenotype differs from idiopathic Parkinson's disease for earlier onset, slower disease progression, and better response
