Abstract

ObjectiveDNAJC6 mutations were recently described in two families with autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (onset age<11), prominent atypical signs, poor or absent response to levodopa, and rapid progression (wheelchair-bound within approximate to 10 years from onset). Here, for the first time, we report DNAJC6 mutations in early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD).
