✦ Synopsis

Genetic analysis is changing our view of Parkinson's disease: not only is it challenging the long-cherished views about the diagnosis of the disease, it is also starting to suggest a biochemical pathway to disease pathogenesis. These developments are reviewed in the context of three known (synuclein, parkin, and DJ-1) and one suspected (ubiquitin hydrolase) genes for the disease.

Over the last few years, several genes for monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) have been mapped and/or cloned. Mutations have been identified in the gene for alpha-synuclein in rare families with dominant PD, indicating that aggregation of this protein in Lewy bodies is probably a crucial st

## Abstract We performed a clinical genetic analysis of a kindred originating in the town of Contursi in Salerno province, Italy, in which 60 individuals in 5 generations are known to have had Parkinson's disease (PD). Two previously reported autopsy cases showed typical PD with Lewy bodies. The in

## Abstract Progress in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the cardinal motor abnormalities of Parkinson's disease (PD), in particular akinesia and bradykinesia and their treatment, has been remarkable. Notable accomplishments include insights into the functional organization of the bas
