Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the shape differences in the putamen of early-onset Parkinson's patients compared with healthy controls and to assess and to assess sub-regional brain abnormalities. METHODS This study was conducted using the 3-T MRI scans of 23 early-onset Parkinson's patients and age and gender matched control subjects. Landmark coordinate data obtained and Procrustes analysis was used to compare mean shapes. The relationships between the centroid sizes of the left and right putamen, and the durations of disease examined using growth curve models. RESULTS While there was a significant difference between the right putamen shape of control and patient groups, there was not found a significant difference in terms of left putamen. Sub-regional analyses showed that for the right putamen, the most prominent deformations were localized in the middle-posterior putamen and minimal deformations were seen in the anterior putamen. CONCLUSION Although they were not as pronounced as those in the right putamen, the deformations in the left putamen mimic the deformations in the right putamen which are found mainly in the middle-posterior putamen and at a lesser extend in the anterior putamen.

Effects of head trauma and sport participation in young-onset Parkinson's disease. J Neural Transm (Vienna) 2021; 128:1185-1193.

Abstract
Head trauma (HT) is emerging as an event anticipating onset of neurodegenerative disorders. However, the potential contribution of HT in young-onset cases (YOPD, age at onset < 50) of Parkinson’s disease (PD) has not been examined yet. Here, we systematically assessed HT history in PD patients to estimate the risk associated, especially in terms of age of onset, and define the correlations with the clinical-biochemical profile. The Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire (BISQ) was administered to 94 PD patients (31 with YOPD, known monogenic forms excluded) and 70 controls. HT history was correlated with motor and non-motor scores in all patients, and to CSF biomarkers of neurodegeneration (α-synuclein, amyloid-β42, total and phosporiled-181 tau, lactate, CSF/serum albumin) into a subgroup. HT increased the risk for both PD and YOPD. In PD patients, but not in those with YOPD, the number of HTs directly correlated with CSF total-tau levels. No other correlations resulted between HT and clinical parameters. Sport-related HT was a specific risk factor for YOPD; conversely, the prolonged sporting life represented a protective factor. HTs can favor PD onset, even as YOPD. Sport-related HT resulted a risk factor for YOPD, although the longer sporting practice delayed PD onset, protecting from YOPD. Tauopathy may underlie the overall association between HT and PD. Additional mechanisms could be instead implicated in HT contribution to YOPD onset.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and other neuronal populations. The worldwide prevalence of PD is over 7 million and has been increasing more rapidly than many other neurodegenerative disorders. PD symptoms can be broadly divided into motor (slowness, stiffness, tremor) and non-motor symptoms (such as depression, dementia, psychosis, orthostatic hypotension). Patients can also have prodromal symptoms of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, hyposmia, and constipation. The diagnosis of PD is mainly clinical, but dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis. Dopamine based therapies are used for the treatment of motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms are treated with other medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (depression/anxiety), acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (dementia), and atypical antipsychotics (psychosis). Patients with motor fluctuations or uncontrolled tremor, benefit from deep brain stimulation. Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel is an alternative to deep brain stimulation for uncontrolled motor fluctuations. Rehabilitative therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy are important during all stages of the disease. Management of PD is complex but there have been significant advancements in the treatment of motor and non-motor symptoms over the past few years. This review discusses the updates in the medical and surgical management of PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) often suffer from more frequent depression than those with late-onset Parkinson's disease (LOPD). However, the clinical characteristics of suicidal ideation (SI) in EOPD remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, related factors, and predictive factors of SI in EOPD patients as well as comparison of the prevalence in LOPD patients. METHODS We conducted a case-control, cross-sectional, and longitudinal study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the characteristics between EOPD (N = 577) and LOPD patients (N = 2973). The diagnosis of SI was based on the assessment of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). EOPD patients with a disease duration < 5 years (N = 96) were prospectively followed-up for exploring the predictors for the development of SI. Two forward binary logistic regression models were respectively used to explore the associated and predictive factors of SI. RESULTS After PSM, EOPD patients showed significantly higher prevalence of SI than LOPD patients (22.0 vs. 13.3%, P < 0.001). Twenty EOPD patients (20.8%) developed SI and none of them reported suicidal behaviors after a median of 2.7 (IQR = 1.6-4.1) years. Depression, dyskinesia, non-smoking, lower education, and higher Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) score were independently associated with the presence of SI. Depression at baseline was the only independent risk factor for the future occurrence of SI. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the necessity to screen SI in patients with EOPD especially for those with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), occurring between ages 40 and 55, carries social, societal, and personal consequences and may progress, with fewer comorbidities than typical, later-onset disease. OBJECTIVE To examine the incidence and survival of EOPD and other Parkinsonism occurring before age 55 in the population-based cohort of residents in seven Minnesota counties. METHODS A movement-disorder specialist reviewed all the medical records in a 2010-2015 Parkinsonism-incident cohort to confirm diagnosis and subtypes. RESULTS We identified 27 patients diagnosed at ≤ 50 years with incident Parkinsonism 2010-15:11 (41%) cases of EOPD, 13 (48%) drug-induced Parkinsonism, and 3 (11%) other Parkinsonism; we also identified 69 incident cases of Parkinsonism ≤ 55 years, of which 28 (41%) were EOPD, 28 (41%) DIP, and 13 (19%) other Parkinsonism. Overall incidence for Parkinsonism ≤ 50 years was 1.98/100,000 person-years, and for EOPD was 0.81/100,000 person-years. In patients ≤ 55 years, Parkinsonism incidence was 5.05/100,000 person-years: in EOPD, 2.05/100,000 person-years. Levodopa-induced dyskinesia was present in 45%of EOPD (both ≤ 50 years and ≤ 55 years). Onset of cardinal motor symptoms was proximate to the diagnosis of EOPD, except for impaired postural reflexes, which occurred later in the course of EOPD. Among the 69 Parkinsonism cases ≤ 55 years, 9 (13%; all male) were deceased (only 1 case of EOPD). Men had a higher mortality risk compared to women (p = 0.049). CONCLUSION The incidence of EOPD ≤ 50 years was 0.81/100,000 person-years (1.98 in Parkinsonism all type); prior to ≤ 55 years was 2.05/100,000 person-years (5.05 in Parkinsonism all type) with higher incidence in men than women. Men with Parkinsonism, all type, had higher mortality compared to women.

Abstract
Introduction: Mutations in the Parkin gene are the most common cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). However, little is known about the quality of life (QoL) in Parkin-related PD. Here, we investigated the patterns of QoL in newly diagnosed Parkin-related PD patients. Methods: Newly diagnosed PD patients (diagnosis made within 12 months) who had an age of onset (AOO) below 40 and underwent a PD-related genetic testing, were recruited (n = 148). Among them, 24 patients carried bi-allelic variants in Parkin (PD-Parkin) and 24 patients did not have any known causative PD mutations, or risk variants (GU-EOPD). The clinical materials, relevant factors and determinants of QoL were analyzed. Results: PD-Parkin patients had a younger AOO (p = 0.003) and longer disease duration (p = 0.005). After adjustment for AOO and disease duration, more dystonia (p = 0.034), and worse scores of non-motor symptoms including Beck depression inventory (BDI, p = 0.035), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS, p = 0.044), and subdomains of depression/anxiety (p = 0.015) and sleep disorders (p = 0.005) in Non-motor symptoms questionnaire, were found in PD-Parkin comparing with GU-EOPD. PD-Parkin patients had poorer QoL (adjusted p = 0.045), especially in the mobility (adjusted p = 0.025), emotional well-being (adjusted p = 0.015) and bodily discomfort dimensions (adjusted p = 0.016). BDI scores (p = 0.005) and ESS scores (p = 0.047) were significant determinants of QoL in PD-Parkin. Conclusion: Newly diagnosed PD-Parkin patients showed worse QoL. More depression and excessive daytime sleepiness predicted worse QoL. For clinicians, management of depression and excessive daytime sleepiness is suggested to better improve QoL in patients with Parkin mutations.

Abstract
Though primarily a sporadic condition, Parkinson’s disease is increasingly recognized to be a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic component. At a cellular level, disruptions of protein trafficking and recycling, particularly by misfolding, accumulation, and aggregation of α-synuclein, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and other etiopathogenic mechanisms, have been found to result in the death of vulnerable neuronal populations and appear to drive the neurodegeneration underlying Parkinson’s disease. The improved understanding of these mechanisms has led to the development of novel pathogenesis-targeted and potentially disease-modifying therapeutic approaches in Parkinson’s disease. Until these treatments are fully developed and approved, clinicians must rely on therapies designed to improve quality of life of patients by treating various motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically considered as a disease of the elderly. However, there is a sizeable subgroup of patients where PD starts at a younger age, known as young-onset PD (YOPD). We evaluated the differences in quality of life and caregiver strain between YOPD and later onset PD (LOPD) patients in a large cohort. METHODS In collaboration with the Parkinson Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative (PF-QII), we conducted a retrospective three-year analysis on 962 PD patients of the QII database (starting date May 2016). Of these, 272 patients had YOPD, and 690 had LOPD. The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) total score served as primary outcome measure. Furthermore, we analysed group differences in modified caregiver strain index (MCSI) total score, three cognition functions, and number of falls. A regression analysis adjusting for covariates was used to assess the association of age at onset with PDQ-39 and MCSI. RESULTS PDQ scores were better in YOPD patients, MCSI scores on social constraint were lower in YOPD patients, but scores on financial constraint were higher in this group. After adjusting for covariates, YOPD patients had better quality of life and less caregiver strain at all follow-up moments, but not at baseline. Decline over time for all outcomes was lower in the YOPD group compared to the LOPD group. Cognitive functioning and number of falls progressed slower in the YOPD group compared to the LOPD group. CONCLUSION Compared to LOPD patients, YOPD patients had a better quality of life, less caregiver strain, fewer falls and better cognitive functioning after their first follow-up visit, and also a slower decline over time.

Abstract
Mutations in the peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase domain containing 1 (PTRHD1) gene have been recently identified in consanguineous Iranian and African families with juvenile parkinsonism and intellectual disability. However, the pathogenicity of PTRHD1 mutations in the disease and their role in young-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate PTRHD1 mutations in a Taiwanese cohort with young-onset and familial PD. We enrolled 464 participants, including 178 probands from PD pedigrees without known PD-causative gene mutations and 286 patients with young-onset PD (age of onset <50 years). All exons and exon-intron boundary junctions of PTRHD1 were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. We did not find any pathogenic coding variants or previously reported mutations, suggesting that PTRHD1 mutations are rare in young-onset and familial PD in our population.

Abstract
In people with young onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD), onset of symptoms is between 21 and 40 years of age. The distinction between YOPD and late-onset Parkinson’s disease is supported by genetic differences (a genetic etiology is more common in people with YOPD) and clinical differences (e.g., dystonia and levodopa-induced dyskinesias are more common inYOPD). Moreover, people with YOPD tend to have different family and societal engagements compared to those with late-onset PD. These unique features have implications for clinical management, and call for a tailored multidisplinary approach involving shared-decision making.

Abstract
The concept of 'idiopathic' Parkinson's disease (PD) as a single entity has been challenged with the identification of several clinical subtypes, pathogenic genes and putative causative environmental agents. In addition to classic motor symptoms, non-motor manifestations (such as rapid eye movement sleep disorder, anosmia, constipation and depression) appear at prodromic/premotor stage and evolve, along with cognitive impairment and dysautonomia, as the disease progresses, often dominating the advanced stages of the disease. The key molecular pathogenic mechanisms include α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, impairment of protein clearance (associated with deficient ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosomal systems), neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The involvement of dopaminergic as well as noradrenergic, glutamatergic, serotonergic and adenosine pathways provide insights into the rich and variable clinical phenomenology associated with PD and the possibility of alternative therapeutic approaches beyond traditional dopamine replacement therapies.One of the biggest challenges in the development of potential neuroprotective therapies has been the lack of reliable and sensitive biomarkers of progression. Immunotherapies such as the use of vaccination or monoclonal antibodies directed against aggregated, toxic α-synuclein.as well as anti-aggregation or protein clearance strategies are currently investigated in clinical trials. The application of glucagon-like peptide one receptor agonists, specific PD gene target agents (such as GBA or LRRK2 modifiers) and other potential disease modifying drugs provide cautious optimism that more effective therapies are on the horizon. Emerging therapies, such as new symptomatic drugs, innovative drug delivery systems and novel surgical interventions give hope to patients with PD about their future outcomes and prognosis.

Abstract
Young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) is a relevant condition whose neurobiology is questioned if different from those of typical late-onset Parkinson's disease (LOPD). Here, we explored whether the clinical-biochemical profile of Parkinson's disease (PD) could be affected by the age-of-onset (AO), as a possible result of a distinct neurodegenerative process. A panel of fluid biomarkers (CSF lactate, 42-amyloid-β peptide, total and 181-phosphorylated tau; serum uric acid) and the standard scores for motor and nonmotor signs were assessed in 76 idiopathic PD patients (genetic cases excluded; YOPD, AO ≤ 50, n = 44; LOPD, AO > 50, n = 32) and 75 sex/age-matched controls, adjusting the models for the main confounding factors. In PD, AO directly correlated to either CSF lactate and tau proteins or the nonmotor symptoms scale score. Specifically, a younger AO was associated with lower levels of biomarkers and minor burden of nonmotor symptoms. Our findings indicate that clinical-biochemical features of idiopathic PD may vary depending on the AO, accounting for different profiles in YOPD and LOPD whose recognition is fundamental for further pathophysiological implications and clinical applications.
