Abstract
Calcium-independent phospholipase A2β (iPLA2β), a member of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2s) superfamily, is encoded by the PLA2G6 gene. Mutations in the PLA2G6 gene have been identified as the primary cause of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) and, less commonly, as a contributor to Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have revealed that iPLA2β deficiency leads to neuroinflammation, iron accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid dysregulation, and other pathological changes, forming a complex pathogenic network. These discoveries shed light on potential mechanisms underlying PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) and offer valuable insights for therapeutic development. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental characteristics of iPLA2β, its association with neurodegeneration, the pathogenic mechanisms involved in PLAN, and potential targets for therapeutic intervention. It offers an overview of the latest advancements in this field, aiming to contribute to ongoing research endeavors and facilitate the development of effective therapies for PLAN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The unique neurovascular structure of the retina has provided an opportunity to observe brain pathology in many neurological disorders. However, such studies on neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) disorders are lacking. OBJECTIVES To investigate NBIA's neurological and ophthalmological manifestations. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on genetically confirmed NBIA patients and an age-gender-matched control group. The thickness of retinal layers, central choroidal thickness (CCT), and capillary plexus densities were measured by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and OCT angiography, respectively. The patients also underwent funduscopy, electroretinography (ERG), visual evoked potential (VEP), and neurological examination (Pantothenate-Kinase Associated Neurodegeneration-Disease Rating Scale [PKAN-DRS]). The generalized estimating equation model was used to consider inter-eye correlations. RESULTS Seventy-four patients' and 80 controls' eyes were analyzed. Patients had significantly decreased visual acuity, reduced inner or outer sectors of almost all evaluated layers, increased CCT, and decreased vessel densities, with abnormal VEP and ERG in 32.4% and 45.9%, respectively. There were correlations between visual acuity and temporal peripapillary nerve fiber layer (positive) and between PKAN-DRS score and disease duration (negative), and scotopic b-wave amplitudes (positive). When considering only the PKAN eyes, ONL was among the significantly decreased retinal layers, with no differences in retinal vessel densities. Evidence of pachychoroid was only seen in patients with Kufor Rakeb syndrome. CONCLUSION Observing pathologic structural and functional neurovascular changes in NBIA patients may provide an opportunity to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and differential retinal biomarkers in NBIA subtypes in further investigations. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patients with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) have a slower progression. Our aim was to analyze the change in cognitive function in YOPD compared to patients with a later onset and controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and controls from the COPPADIS cohort were included. Cognitive function was assessed with the Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) at baseline (V0), 2-year ± 1 month (V2y), and 4-year ± 3 months follow-up (V4y). Regarding age from symptoms onset, patients were classified as YOPD (< 50 years) or non-YOPD (≥ 50). A score in the PD-CRS < 81 was defined as cognitive impairment (CI): ≤ 64 dementia; 65-80 mild cognitive impairment (MCI). RESULTS One-hundred and twenty-four YOPD (50.7 ± 7.9 years; 66.1% males), 234 non-YOPD (67.8 ± 7.8 years; 59.3% males) patients, and 205 controls (61 ± 8.3 years; 49.5% males) were included. The score on the PD-CRS and its subscore domains was higher at all visits in YOPD compared to non-YOPD patients and to controls (p < 0.0001 in all analysis), but no differences were detected between YOPD patients and controls. Only non-YOPD patients had significant impairment in their cognitive function from V0 to V4y (p < 0.0001). At V4y, the frequency of dementia and MCI was 5% and 10% in YOPD compared to 25.2% and 22.3% in non-YOPD patients (p < 0.0001). A lower score on the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale at baseline was a predictor of CI at V4y in YOPD patients (Adjusted R2 = 0.61; OR = 0.965; p = 0.029). CONCLUSION Cognitive dysfunction progressed more slowly in YOPD than in non-YOPD patients.

Abstract
Genetic early-onset Parkinsonism is unique due to frequent co-occurrence of hyperkinetic movement disorder(s) (MD), or additional neurological of systemic findings, including epilepsy in up to 10-15% of cases. Based on both the classification of Parkinsonism in children proposed by Leuzzi and coworkers and the 2017 ILAE epilepsies classification, we performed a literature review in PubMed. A few discrete presentations can be identified: Parkinsonism as a late manifestation of complex neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DE-EE), with multiple, refractory seizure types and severely abnormal EEG characteristics, with or without preceding hyperkinetic MD; Parkinsonism in the context of syndromic conditions with unspecific reduced seizure threshold in infancy and childhood; neurodegenerative conditions with brain iron accumulation, in which childhood DE-EE is followed by neurodegeneration; and finally, monogenic juvenile Parkinsonism, in which a subset of patients with intellectual disability or developmental delay (ID/DD) develop hypokinetic MD between 10 and 30 years of age, following unspecific, usually well-controlled, childhood epilepsy. This emerging group of genetic conditions leading to epilepsy or DE-EE in childhood followed by juvenile Parkinsonism highlights the need for careful long-term follow-up, especially in the context of ID/DD, in order to readily identify individuals at increased risk of later Parkinsonism.

Abstract
Background With advances in clinical genetic testing, associations between genetic neurodevelopmental disorders and parkinsonism are increasingly recognized. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of reports on parkinsonism in genetic neurodevelopmental disorders and summarize findings related to genetic diagnosis, clinical features and proposed disease mechanisms. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed and Embase on June 15, 2021. Search terms for parkinsonism and genetic neurodevelopmental disorders, using generic terms and the Human Phenotype Ontology, were combined. Study characteristics and descriptive data were extracted from the articles using a modified version of the Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Group's data extraction template. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020191035). Results The literature search yielded 208 reports for data-extraction, describing 69 genetic disorders in 422 patients. The five most reported from most to least frequent were: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration, Down syndrome, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, and Rett syndrome. Notable findings were an almost equal male to female ratio, an early median age of motor onset (26 years old) and rigidity being more common than rest tremor. Results of dopaminergic imaging and response to antiparkinsonian medication often supported the neurodegenerative nature of parkinsonism. Moreover, neuropathology results showed neuronal loss in the majority of cases. Proposed disease mechanisms included aberrant mitochondrial function and disruptions in neurotransmitter metabolism, endosomal trafficking, and the autophagic-lysosomal and ubiquitin-proteasome system. Conclusion Parkinsonism has been reported in many GNDs. Findings from this study may provide clues for further research and improve management of patients with GNDs and/or parkinsonism.

Age Cutoff for Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease: Recommendations from the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Task Force on Early Onset Parkinson's Disease. Mov Disord Clin Pract 2022; 9:869-878.

Abstract
Background Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD)/young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) is defined as Parkinson's disease (PD) with an age at onset (AAO) after age 21 years but before the usual AAO for PD. Consensus is lacking, and the reported maximal age for EOPD/YOPD has varied from 40 to 60 years, leading to a lack of uniformity in published studies and difficulty in harmonization of data. EOPD and YOPD have both been used in the literature, somewhat interchangeably. Objective To define the nomenclature and AAO cutoff for EOPD/YOPD. Methods An extensive review of the literature and task force meetings were conducted. Conclusions were reached by consensus. Results First, the literature has seen a shift from the use of YOPD toward EOPD. This seems motivated by an attempt to avoid age-related stigmatization of patients. Second, in defining EOPD, 56% of the countries use 50 or 51 years as the cutoff age. Third, the majority of international genetic studies in PD use an age cutoff of younger than 50 years to define EOPD. Fourth, many studies suggest that changes in the estrogen level can affect the predisposition to develop PD, making the average age at menopause of 50 years an important factor to consider when defining EOPD. Fifth, considering the differential impact of the AAO of PD on professional and social life, using 50 years as the upper cutoff for the definition of EOPD seems reasonable. Conclusions This task force recommends the use of EOPD rather than YOPD. It defines EOPD as PD with AAO after 21 years but before 50 years.

Neurophysiological assessment of juvenile parkinsonism due to primary monoamine neurotransmitter disorders. J Neural Transm (Vienna) 2022; 129:1011-1021.

Abstract
No studies have investigated voluntary movement abnormalities and their neurophysiological correlates in patients with parkinsonism due to inherited primary monoamine neurotransmitter (NT) disorders. Nine NT disorders patients and 16 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Objective measurements of repetitive finger tapping were obtained using a motion analysis system. Primary motor cortex (M1) excitability was assessed by recording the input/output (I/O) curve of motor-evoked potentials (MEP) and using a conditioning test paradigm for short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) assessment. M1 plasticity-like mechanisms were indexed according to MEPs amplitude changes after the paired associative stimulation protocol. Patient values were considered abnormal if they were greater or lower than two standard deviations from the average HCs value. Patients with aromatic amino acid decarboxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase, and 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase defects showed markedly reduced velocity (5/5 patients), reduced movement amplitude, and irregular rhythm (4/5 patients). Conversely, only 1 out of 3 patients with autosomal-dominant GTPCH deficiency showed abnormal movement parameters. Interestingly, none of the patients had a progressive reduction in movement amplitude or velocity during the tapping sequence (no sequence effect). Reduced SICI was the most prominent neurophysiological abnormality in patients (5/9 patients). Finally, the I/O curve slope correlated with movement velocity and rhythm in patients. We provided an objective assessment of finger tapping abnormalities in monoamine NT disorders. We also demonstrated M1 excitability changes possibly related to alterations in motor execution. Our results may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of juvenile parkinsonism due to dopamine deficiency.

Non-Motor Symptoms in PLA2G6-Associated Dystonia-Parkinsonism: A Case Report and Literature Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11061590. [PMID: 35329915 PMCID: PMC8950520 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11061590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
PLA2G6-dystonia-parkinsonism (PLAN-DP) is characterized by levodopa responsive parkinsonism and dystonia. While neuropsychiatric symptoms and early cognitive decline are also common in this entity there is little information regarding other non-motor symptoms (NMS). Here, we describe a 26-year-old patient with PLAN-DP whose motor symptoms were preceded by mild cognitive impairment and anxiety, and who developed many other NMS as the disease evolved. Furthermore, we reviewed the NMS described in all the PLAN-DP patients published to date. A total of 50 patients with PLAN-DP were identified, 42 of whom developed NMS and in 23 of these cases, NMS preceded the motor symptoms of the disease. Neuropsychiatric symptoms dominated the premotor phase of this condition and cognitive impairment/dementia was the most prevalent NMS. Other NMS were reported infrequently like sleep disorders, autonomic symptoms, pain and hyposmia, and mostly as the disease evolved. NMS are very frequent in PLAN-DP and they may appear before diagnosis or during the course of the disease. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive decline are the most frequent NMS. The appearance of neuropsychiatric symptoms like depression, anxiety or personality changes prior to a diagnosis of parkinsonism in younger individuals might suggest the presence of PLA2G6 gene mutations.

Monogenic Parkinson’s Disease: Genotype, Phenotype, Pathophysiology, and Genetic Testing. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13030471. [PMID: 35328025 PMCID: PMC8950888 DOI: 10.3390/genes13030471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease may be caused by a single pathogenic variant (monogenic) in 5–10% of cases, but investigation of these disorders provides valuable pathophysiological insights. In this review, we discuss each genetic form with a focus on genotype, phenotype, pathophysiology, and the geographic and ethnic distribution. Well-established Parkinson’s disease genes include autosomal dominant forms (SNCA, LRRK2, and VPS35) and autosomal recessive forms (PRKN, PINK1 and DJ1). Furthermore, mutations in the GBA gene are a key risk factor for Parkinson’s disease, and there have been major developments for X-linked dystonia parkinsonism. Moreover, atypical or complex parkinsonism may be due to mutations in genes such as ATP13A2, DCTN1, DNAJC6, FBXO7, PLA2G6, and SYNJ1. Furthermore, numerous genes have recently been implicated in Parkinson’s disease, such as CHCHD2, LRP10, TMEM230, UQCRC1, and VPS13C. Additionally, we discuss the role of heterozygous mutations in autosomal recessive genes, the effect of having mutations in two Parkinson’s disease genes, the outcome of deep brain stimulation, and the role of genetic testing. We highlight that monogenic Parkinson’s disease is influenced by ethnicity and geographical differences, reinforcing the need for global efforts to pool large numbers of patients and identify novel candidate genes.

WARS2 mutations cause dopa-responsive early-onset parkinsonism and progressive myoclonus ataxia. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2021; 94:54-61.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sixteen subjects with biallelic WARS2 variants encoding the tryptophanyl mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, presenting with a neonatal- or infantile-onset mitochondrial disease, have been reported to date. Here we present six novel cases with WARS2-related diseases and expand the spectrum to later onset phenotypes including dopa-responsive early-onset parkinsonism and progressive myoclonus-ataxia. METHODS Six individuals from four families underwent whole-exome sequencing within research and diagnostic settings. Following the identification of a genetic defect, in-depth phenotyping and protein expression studies were performed. RESULTS A relatively common (gnomAD MAF = 0.0033) pathogenic p.(Trp13Gly) missense variant in WARS2 was detected in trans in all six affected individuals in combination with different pathogenic alleles (exon 2 deletion in family 1; p.(Leu100del) in family 2; p.(Gly50Asp) in family 3; and p.(Glu208*) in family 4). Two subjects presented with action tremor around age 10-12 years and developed tremor-dominant parkinsonism with prominent neuropsychiatric features later in their 20s. Two subjects presented with a progressive myoclonus-ataxia dominant phenotype. One subject presented with spasticity, choreo-dystonia, myoclonus, and speech problems. One subject presented with speech problems, ataxia, and tremor. Western blotting analyses in patient-derived fibroblasts showed a markedly decreased expression of the full-length WARS2 protein in both subjects carrying p.(Trp13Gly) and an exon-2 deletion in compound heterozygosity. CONCLUSIONS This study expands the spectrum of the disease to later onset phenotypes of early-onset tremor-dominant parkinsonism and progressive myoclonus-ataxia phenotypes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The majority of Parkinson's disease (PD) ensue late-onset with a complex spectrum of environmental and genetic risk factors. Awareness of genetic causes in patients with PD is essential for genetic counseling and future genotype-oriented therapeutic developments. METHODS Large pathogenic changes in eight PD-related genes and small pathogenic sequence variants in 22 PD-related genes were investigated simultaneously in 82 PD patients from 79 families where clinical evaluations were performed. The phenotypic characteristics of the patients with molecular changes were examined for genotype-phenotype relations. RESULTS Pathogenic variants in SNCA, PRKN, DJ-1, FBXO7, and GBA genes were determined in 25 patients from 24 families (24/79, 30%). Associated variants were found in PRKN in 14, SNCA in three, FBXO7 in two, and DJ-1 in one patient. A novel homozygous deletion (c.491delT, p.(V164Dfs*13) (SCV001733595)) leading to protein truncation in the PRKN gene was identified in two patients from the same family. Furthermore, heterozygous GBA gene variants were detected in five patients from different families. CONCLUSION It has been shown that the most common cause of genetically transmitted PD is the PRKN gene, while LRRK2 does not play an essential role in this selected population. It has been suggested that even if the autosomal recessive inheritance is expected, genes with autosomal dominant effects such as SNCA should not be overlooked and suggested for investigation. Our study is also the first for evaluating the pathogenic GBA variants' frequency in PD patients from Turkey.

Abstract
Mitofusin (MFN) 2 belongs to the large family of mitochondrial transmembrane GTPases and has a role in dynamic mitochondrial remodeling process governed by fusion and fission. MFN2 pathogenic variants classically cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), the most common axonal form of CMT, but patients with complex and unusual phenotypes involving the central and peripheral nervous system have been described, with mitochondrial dysfunction proposed as the underlying pathogenic mechanism. Here, we report the first description of a neurochemical pattern of secondary alterations in the metabolism of biogenic amines linked to the de novo presence of the hotspot MFN2 pathogenic variant p.Arg104Trp. The infant presented a very early onset choreic movement disorder associated with severe axial hypotonia and fluctuating dystonia of limbs. The relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance defects and dopaminergic neurotransmitter disorders, governed by MFN2, is discussed.

Abstract
The links between the two archetypical basal ganglia disorders, dystonia and parkinsonism, are manifold and stem from clinical observations, imaging studies, animal models and genetics. The combination of both, i.e. the syndrome of dystonia-parkinsonism, is not uncommonly seen in movement disorders clinics and has a myriad of different underlying aetiologies, upon which treatment and prognosis depend. Based on a comprehensive literature review, we delineate the clinical spectrum of disorders presenting with dystonia-parkinsonism. The clinical approach depends primarily on the age at onset, associated neurological or systemic symptoms and neuroimaging. The tempo of disease progression, and the response to L-dopa are further important clues to tailor diagnostic approaches that may encompass dopamine transporter imaging, CSF analysis and, last but not least, genetic testing. Later in life, sporadic neurodegenerative conditions are the most frequent cause, but the younger the patient, the more likely the cause is unravelled by the recent advances of molecular genetics that are focus of this review. Here, knowledge of the associated phenotypic spectrum is key to guide genetic testing and interpretation of test results. This article is part of the Special Issue "Parkinsonism across the spectrum of movement disorders and beyond" edited by Joseph Jankovic, Daniel D. Truong and Matteo Bologna.

Abstract
Early-onset parkinsonism (EO parkinsonism), defined as subjects with disease onset before the age of 40 or 50 years, can be the main clinical presentation of a variety of conditions that are important to differentiate. Although rarer than classical late-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD) and not infrequently overlapping with forms of juvenile onset PD, a correct diagnosis of the specific cause of EO parkinsonism is critical for offering appropriate counseling to patients, for family and work planning, and to select the most appropriate symptomatic or etiopathogenic treatments. Clinical features, radiological and laboratory findings are crucial for guiding the differential diagnosis. Here we summarize the most important conditions associated with primary and secondary EO parkinsonism. We also proposed a practical approach based on the current literature and expert opinion to help movement disorders specialists and neurologists navigate this complex and challenging landscape.

Abstract
Increasingly effective targeted precision medicine is either already available or in development for a number of genetic childhood movement disorders. Patient-centred, personalized approaches include the repurposing of existing treatments for specific conditions and the development of novel therapies that target the underlying genetic defect or disease mechanism. In tandem with these scientific advances, close collaboration between clinicians, researchers, affected families, and stakeholders in the wider community will be key to successfully delivering such precision therapies to children with movement disorders. What this paper adds Precision medicine for genetic childhood movement disorders is developing rapidly. Accurate diagnosis, disease-specific outcome measures, and collaborative multidisciplinary work will accelerate the progress of such strategies.

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.
