| مستخلص: | The gene for autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinsonism (AR-JP) recently has been mapped to chromosome 6q25.2–27 in Japanese families. We have tested one Algerian and 10 European multiplex families with early-onset Parkinson disease for linkage to this locus, with marker D6S305. Homogeneity analysis provided a conditional probability in favor of linkage of .9 in eight families, which were analyzed further with eight microsatellite markers spanning the 17-cM AR-JP region. Haplotype reconstruction for eight families and determination of the smallest region of homozygosity in two consanguineous families reduced the candidate interval to 11.3 cM. If the deletion of two microsatellite markers (D6S411 and D6S1550) that colocalize on the genetic map and that segregate with the disease in the Algerian family is taken into account, the candidate region would be reduced to <1 cM. These findings should facilitate identification of the corresponding gene. We have confirmed linkage of AR-JP, in European families and in an Algerian family, to the PARK2 locus. PARK2 appears to be an important locus for AR-JP in European patients. The clinical spectrum of the disease in our families, with age at onset ≤58 years and the presence of painful dystonia in some patients, is broader than that reported previously. |
