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.

Several mutations in the COL1A2 gene have been found in people with the arthrochalasia type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. These mutations, which affect one copy of the COL1A2 gene in each cell, delete a segment of the pro-Î±2(I) chain that attaches one collagen molecule to another.he COL1A2 gene produces a component of type I collagen called the pro-Î±2(I) chain. Collagens begin as procollagen molecules, which must be processed by enzymes outside the cell to remove extra protein segments from their ends.
