“…The first gene that was identified was SNCA (synuclein, a [non A4 component of amyloid precursor]), in an Italian family with PD, 33 followed by the identification of the PARK2, 34 PINK1 35 and PARK7/DJ-1 36 genes in young onset recessively inherited PD. Additional autosomal recessive mutations that lead to atypical parkinsonism syndromes were identified in the genes ATP13A2, 37 ATP6AP2, 38 and SYNJ1, 39,40 and mutations in DNAJC13 were suggested to cause autosomal dominant familial PD. 41 Disease-causing mutations with reduced penetrance were also identified in familial settings and cohort studies in the LRRK2 [42][43][44][45] and GBA 46 genes, which are now recognized as the 2 most common genetic causes of PD worldwide.…”
