The genetic spectrum of a cohort of patients clinically diagnosed as Parkinson’s disease in mainland China

Abstract So far, over 20 causative genes of monogenic Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been identified. Some causative genes of non-parkinsonian entities may also manifest with parkinsonism mimicking PD. This study aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of clinically diagnosed PD with early o...

description Abstract So far, over 20 causative genes of monogenic Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been identified. Some causative genes of non-parkinsonian entities may also manifest with parkinsonism mimicking PD. This study aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of clinically diagnosed PD with early onset age or family history. A total of 832 patients initially diagnosed with PD were enrolled, of which, 636 were classified into the early-onset group and 196 were classified into the familial late-onset group. The genetic testing included the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and next generation sequencing (target sequencing or whole-exome sequencing). The dynamic variants of spinocerebellar ataxia were tested in probands with family history. In the early-onset group, 30.03% of patients (191/636) harbored pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in known PD-related genes (CHCHD2, DJ-1, GBA (heterozygous), LRRK2, PINK1, PRKN, PLA2G6, SNCA and VPS35). Variants in PRKN were the most prevalent, accounting for 15.72% of the early-onset patients, followed by GBA (10.22%), and PLA2G6 (1.89%). And 2.52% (16/636) had P/LP variants in causative genes of other diseases (ATXN3, ATXN2, GCH1, TH, MAPT, GBA (homozygous)). In the familial late-onset group, 8.67% of patients (17/196) carried P/LP variants in known PD-related genes (GBA (heterozygous), HTRA2, SNCA) and 2.04% (4/196) had P/LP variants in other genes (ATXN2, PSEN1, DCTN1). Heterozygous GBA variants (7.14%) were the most common genetic cause found in familial late-onset patients. Genetic testing is of vital importance in differential diagnosis especially in early-onset and familial PD. Our findings may also provide some clues to the nomenclature of genetic movement disorders.
