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.

The PARK7 gene belongs to a family of genes called PARK (Parkinson disease). A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other.he PARK7 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 1 at position 36.23. More precisely, the PARK7 gene is located from base pair 7,961,653 to base pair 7,985,282 on chromosome 1.
