7 SNCA gene multiplications and PD phenotypes Multiplications of the genomic region containing the SNCA gene cause α-syn overexpression correlation between the number of SNCA copies and phenotypic severity Three SNCA copies Four SNCA copies Subjects Asymptomatic carriers 20 0 Age at onset 50 ± 12 (30-77) 37 ± 10 (24-60) Autonomic dysfunction 41% 100% Psychiatric disturbances 61% 87% Cognitive impairment 52% 96% Elia et al, Mov Disord 2013

8 PARK8 - LRRK2 - Dardarin 2482 aminoacids, several active domains including a kinase domain 1-2% of sporadic PD G2019S mutation 5-8% of familial PD Founder effect among Ashkenazi Jews and North African Arabs other mutations are rare (about 10 different mutations reported) Phenotype of LRRK2 mutations: variable presentation, onset 3rd-8th decade reduced penetrance: 15-30%, increasing with age usually indistinguishable from idiopathic PD 8

9 FMR1 expansions and PD CGG expansions in the promoter region of X-Fragile mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1, >200 rpts) is the most frequent genetic cause of intellectual disability in males FMR1 premutation ( rpts) progressive degenerative movement disorder with kinetic tremor, cerebellar gait ataxia, parkinsonism and cognitive decline (FXTAS) in males and females. MCP signs and/or cerebral atrophy on MRI; normal ß-CIT SPECT. FMR1 gray zone (49-54 rpts) parkinsonism and idiophatic PD (1-7,5%; 0-11%), gait ataxia. 9

10 Glucocerebrosidase and PD (++ non-motor signs) Glucocerebrosidase deficiency Gaucher s disease heterozygous GBA mutations represent the most common genetic risk factor for PD identified to date (4-8% PD vs <1% controls) Clinical picture of GB-related PD : ++ earlier onset, positive family history ++ non-motor features; + severe PD OR = 5.43 Sidransky et al, NEJM, 2009; Brockmann et al, Neurology 2011
