“…3,4,6,7,17 Moreover, the frequency in Japanese patients also differs greatly from those of other Asian populations such as Taiwanese patients and mainland Chinese patients (0%). 3,8 Although the mutation frequency was expected to be lower than that of other pathogenic genes for ADPD, such as multiplication of SNCA 9,18 and point mutation of LRRK2, [19][20][21] VPS35 may be one of the most important genes in Japanese PD. Because we screened for only 7 reported variants, we cannot determine the exact frequency of VPS35 mutations in ADPD; we would need to analyze all 17 exons of VPS35 in ADPD patients to screen for other variants and to assess the incidence of all disease-associated VPS35 mutations.…”

“…The R1441H mutation appears to be pathogenic and confirms that this amino acid is a mutational hotspot [20]. The I1371V mutation seems to segregate with disease, but little is known about the functional consequences of this mutation [21]. Another mutation in the GTPase domain, N1437H, was recently found in a large Norwegian family with autosomal-dominant PD [22].…”

“…It is also been reported that head injury, well-water ingestion, rural living, middle-age obesity, and lack of exercise may have association with PD (Elbaz and Tranchant, 2007; Thacker et al, 2008). Recently, genetic studies have made great breakthrough in etiology of PD, revealing several genes that are closely linked to heritable PD, which accounts for about 10% PD cases (Paisán-Ruíz et al, 2004; Valente et al, 2004; Zimprich et al, 2004; Seki et al, 2011). How these different factors may function together in triggering PD remains unclear.…”

“…These include genes for SNCA, UCHL1, GIGYF2, HtrA2, LRRK2, PARK2, DJ1, PINK1 , and ATP13A2 (Kim and Choi, 2010; Seki et al, 2011). Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and PINK1 are of particular interest because they are kinases and known to be involved in autophagy and mitophagy, two processes to which MEF2D have been linked (Paisán-Ruíz et al, 2004; Valente et al, 2004; Zimprich et al, 2004).…”
