“…The genetic aspects of the disease are linked to mutations in several genes related to a multitude of cellular mechanisms, such as protein aggregation, protein and membrane trafficking, lysosomal autophagy, immune response, synaptic function, endocytosis, inflammation, and metabolic pathways (Redenšek et al, 2017 ). The genes SNCA (PARK1), UCHL1 (PARK5), LRRK2 (PARK8), GIGYF2 (PARK11), OMI/HTRA2 (PARK13), VPS35 (PARK17), and EIF4G1 (PARK18) result in autosomal dominant PD, and PRKN (PARK2), DJ-1 (PARK7), ATP13A2 (PARK9), PLA2G6 (PARK14), FBX07 (PARK15), DNJC6 (PARK19), and SYNJ1 (PARK20) causes autosomal recessive PD (Lautier et al, 2008 ; Di Fonzo et al, 2009 ; Klein and Westenberger, 2012 ; Deng et al, 2015 ; Bartonikova et al, 2016 ; Miki et al, 2017 ; Scott et al, 2017 ). The gene contribution from other loci (PARK 3, 10, 12, and 16) is under investigation (Dawson and Dawson, 2010 ).…”
