Monogenic forms, caused by a single mutation in a dominantly or recessively inherited gene, are well-established, albeit relatively rare types of PD. They collectively account for about 30% of the familial and 3%â5% of the sporadic cases.
The two types of single gene mutations are point mutation, where a single point in the DNA sequence is affected, and FRAMESHIFT MUTATION, where a single gene or nitrogen base â¦ is deleted or added from the mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic message. gene mutation can be acquired throughout life or it is genetic ex sickle cell anemia chromsome mutations have more pronounced effects and are due to a change in the number â¦ of chromosomes or a change in the structural effect that are inherited..
