BackgroundMutations inPRKNare the most common cause of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between genotype and pathology in patients withPRKNmutations.MethodsWe performed a sequence and copy number variation analysis ofPRKN, mRNA transcripts, Parkin protein expression, and neuropathology in 8 autopsied patients.ResultsAll the patients harbored biallelicPRKNmutations. Two patients were homozygous and heterozygous, respectively, for the missense mutation p.C431F. Seven patients had exon rearrangements, including 2 patients from a single family who harbored a homozygous deletion of exon 4, and 3 patients who carried a homozygous duplication of exons 6–7, a homozygous duplication of exons 10–11, and a heterozygous duplication of exons 2–4. In the other 2 patients, we found a compound heterozygous duplication of exon 2, deletion of exon 3, and a heterozygous duplication of exon 2. However, sequencing of cDNA prepared from mRNA revealed 2 different transcripts derived from triplication of exon 2 and deletion of exons 2–3 and from duplication of exons 2–4 and deletion of exons 3–4. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealed faint or no expression of Parkin in their brains. In the substantia nigra pars compacta, a subfield‐specific pattern of neuronal loss and mild gliosis were evident. Lewy bodies were found in 3 patients. Peripheral sensory neuronopathy was a feature.ConclusionsGenomic and mRNA analysis is needed to identify thePRKNmutations. Variable mutations may result in no or little production of mature Parkin and the histopathologic features may be similar. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
