A recessive mutation inPLA2G6, which is known to cause infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) and neurodegeneration associated with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), has recently been shown to be responsible forPARK14-linked dystonia-parkinsonism. To study the frequency ofPLA2G6mutations, including those caused by gene rearrangement in patients with parkinsonism, we performed direct sequencing and investigated copy number variations (CNVs) of this gene in 109 Japanese patients with parkinsonism. Direct sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation (c.1495G>A; p.A499T), which is likely to be pathogenic and is already registered as rs141045127, and two compound-heterozygous mutations we have previously reported. No CNVs inPLA2G6were detected in our subjects. Our results suggest that CNV inPLA2G6is rare in parkinsonism, at least in the Japanese population, in contrast to the reports of its frequency in INAD. Further large studies in various populations are warranted to elucidate what causes the difference in frequencies ofPLA2G6rearrangement mutations between INAD and dystonia-parkinsonism.
