The study was conducted on 120 patients (76 men and 44 women) affected by idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) responsive to L-dopa and observed for many years. Sixty had clinical onset between the ages of 20-40, representing 10.2% of our PD population; in the others the symptoms began after the 40t

## Abstract Mutations in __GTPโcyclohydrolase 1__ (__GCH1__) cause autosomal dominant dopaโresponsive dystonia (DRD), characterized by childhoodโonset foot dystonia that later generalizes. DRD patients frequently present with associated Parkinsonism. Conversely, earlyโonset Parkinson's disease (EOP
## Abstract It is controversial if early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) (onset at <41 years of age) is Parkinson's disease (PD) occuring at a younger age or a different disease. This controversy is due to some clinical and pathological differences between EOPD and PD. Within EOPD, there appear to
The role of heredity in early- versus late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) is controversial. We estimated the degree of increased risk of PD in first-degree relatives of 221 PD probands with age of onset 50 years or younger and 266 PD probands with age of onset older than 50 years compared with the f
## Abstract Pathogenic __PINK1__ mutations have been described in PARK6โlinked Parkinson's disease (PD) patients of Asian origin. However, data on the frequency of __PINK1__ mutations in sporadic earlyโonset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) Asian patients are lacking. The objectives of this study were to
