## Abstract Missense mutations of the α‐synuclein gene have been reported to explain a few kindreds with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to identify mutations in our PD patients, we have screened the coding region and 5′flanking region of the gene. DNA samples from 50 patients

Patients in the early stages of Parkinson's disease have been shown to walk slower with smaller steps, resembling the gait of normal elderly subjects, but specific disorders of dynamic equilibrium or rhythmic gait patterning have not yet been identified. In the present study, gait control in 22 heal
