Genetic analysis of ATP10B for Parkinson's disease in Japan.

Compound heterozygosity of ATP10B is thought to be a risk factor for young-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). We genetically screened 245 patients with young-onset sporadic PD and 33 patients with autosomal recessive PD for ATP10B. All 13 identified gene variants were heterozygous with little evidence of the pathogenicity.
