Summary

Despite the increasing availability and advances in the analysis of high-throughput DNA sequencing, the majority of patients with early-onset or familial parkinsonism remain without a molecular diagnosis.

Studying the genetic forms of parkinsonian syndromes presents numerous clinical, scientific and therapeutic interests. In clinical practice, identifying the genetic cause in a patient allow to provide genetic counseling and estimate the risk of recurrence in their relatives. Establishing correlations between the genotype and phenotype of patients with genetically determined parkinsonism, allow to better anticipate the evolution of the disease, or even to highlight biomarkers during the presymptomatic phases. Finally, the proteins encoded by the genes implicated in familial parkinsonism represent potential therapeutic targets likely to be modulated by neuroprotective pharmacological agents, even in sporadic Parkinson's disease.

In this work,investigators aimed at elucidating the missing genetic causes of parkinsonism through the application of combined RNA and whole genome sequencing.
