| 607688 | OMIM | Parkinson disease 11 (PARK11) | A complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Its association with Parkinson disease is however unclear. According to a number of studies, variations affecting this gene are not a frequent cause of Parkinson disease, suggesting that GIGYF2 does not play a major role in Parkinson disease etiology (PubMed:19279319, PubMed:19429085, PubMed:19638301, PubMed:19482505, PubMed:20004041, PubMed:19321232, PubMed:20060621). |
