PINK1 p.K520RfsX3 mutation identified in a Chinese family with early-onset Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) features selective loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta accompanied by the accumulation and aggregation of alpha-synuclein in Lewy bodies. PTEN induced putative kinase 1 gene (PINK1) mutations are the second most common genetic cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). A single nucleotide deletion in PINK1 exon 8 (c.1557delG) was identified in a consanguineous Chinese family with EOPD. The homozygous deletion was co-segregated with disease in the family and resulted in a frameshift after codon 520 with a premature termination at codon 522 (p.K520RfsX3). These findings have significant implications on genetic counseling for the family and may be helpful in considering potential pathogenesis-targeted and disease-modifying strategies which should further improve patient quality of life.
