PARK2 (OMIM *602544) is the parkin gene that may cause a form of autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson disease (OMIM 600116) due to a mutation in the parkin protein. This form of genetic mutation may be one of the most common known genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson disease.In one study of patients with onset of Parkinson disease prior to age 40 (10% of all PD patients), 18% had parkin mutations, with 5% homozygous mutations.his form of genetic mutation may be one of the most common known genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson disease.

potassium voltage-gated channel, Isk-related family, member 2. KCNE2 (NM_172201.1) encodes a voltage gated potassium channel protein (also called MiRP1) that assembles with the KCNH2 pore-forming protein (also called HERG) to alter its function.The KCNE2 gene contains 2 exons (1 coding exon) and is located at 21q22.Loss of function mutations in KCNE2 account for approximately 1% of all individuals with Romano-Ward syndrome, an autosomal dominant form of long QT syndrome (LQTS) (Splawski et al. 2000.he KCNE2 gene contains 2 exons (1 coding exon) and is located at 21q22.
