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.

If both copies are identical, we say that individual is homozygous for that gene. A recessive gene is one that has to be homozygous to have an effect on the plant's or animal's traits. If you have a lab rat with a dominant gene, you'll see its effect whether the rat has one copy of the gene or two.f both copies are identical, we say that individual is homozygous for that gene.
