## Abstract Early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) has been associated with mutations in the __Parkin__, __DJ‐1, PINK1, LRRK2,__ and __SNCA__ genes. The aim of this study is to assess the contribution of these genes in a Dutch EOPD cohort and the phenotypic characteristics of the mutation carriers.

## Abstract We screened for mutations in the __PARKIN__, __DJ‐1__, and __PINK1__ genes in a Taiwanese cohort (68 probands; 58 sporadic and 10 familial) with early‐onset parkinsonism (EOP, onset <50 years of age). We identified 9 patients harboring mutations in __PARKIN__ (three compound heterozygou
## Abstract A multiethnic series of patients with early‐onset Parkinson's disease (EOP) was studied to assess the frequency and nature of __parkin__/PARK2 gene mutations and to investigate phenotype–genotype relationships. Forty‐six EOP probands with an onset age of <45 years, and 14 affected relat
## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) etiology has been attributed both to genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we investigated Brazilian early‐onset PD (EOPD) patients for mutations in __PARK2__ and __PARK8__, exposure to environmental factors and possible correlations between __PARK2_
## Abstract Four genes responsible for recessively inherited forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) have been identified, including the recently discovered __ATP13A2__ (__PARK9__) gene. Our objective was to investigate the role of this gene in a large cohort of PD patients and controls. We extensively s
