PRKN Heterozygous Carrier Frequency, EOPD Risk, And Neuropathology
Heterozygous PRKN Carrier Notes
Table2) pathogenic SNV & CNV heterozygous carrier 가, 약 2000 명 이상의 PD 환자중 1.2%,
약 2000 명 이상의 control 에서 1.8% 로 차이부 (오히려 PD 에서 적음, JS: This tells us that
heteroz PRKN mutation is not a risk factor for LOPD 왜냐면 LOPD 환자가 majority
였으니까,)
Pathogenic SNV & CNS is 14% of total (SNV & CNV) (1.52/10.7)
Pathogenic Parkin variant should mean the variants that show reduction of either parkin
function or parkin expression (applied in 2019 Yi). Target? Controversial, so is there any
means to address this?CNS in the visible note may be an OCR/typing issue for CNV; it is left as visible/uncertain text rather than silently corrected.
EOPD-Only Carrier Analysis

[EOPD only]
Is it a risk factor for EOPD? -> (table S5) no association (p>0.05), but trend (OR=~1.5)

Penetrance note:

Mean age: 45
Penetrance is (2.44-) 7.5% (table s1,
PDS11, ie PD medication)Neuropathology Notes
[Poulopoulos et al 2012]. The most prominent and most common feature was the finding of neuronal loss in pigmented nuclei of the brain stem. Unlike Parkinson
disease of other etiologies, the neuronal loss was greater in SNpc than in LC (see Parkinson Disease Overview). Typical alpha-syn-containing Lewy bodies were identified
in only two affected individuals, whereas one affected individual had basophilic Lewy body-like pathology of the pedunculopontine nucleus. Tau-containing
neurofibrillary tangles were observed in two affected individuals. In summary, the spectrum of postmortem findings is broad and thus reminiscent of the situation in
LRRK2 Parkinson disease [Kasten et al 2018].

however, there is a distinct lack of LB formation
No juvenile-onset cases have ever been reported with LBs postmortem.22,23 Movement Disorders, Vol. 28, No. 6, 2013
In a relatively large series of patients with PRKN-related PD and a review of the literature, together with autopsy reports of 13 patients with PRKN-related PD, only 3 out of 13 had
any LBs. (Aasly, 2020 #781)
{Seike, 2021 #1271} 3 out of 8 patients show LB (한명: brain-stem predominant, 두번째환자: limbic subtypes, 세번째환자: lc, DORSOVAGAL NUCLEUS, BUT NOT IN snPC)Neuronal Loss
{Doherty, 2013 #778}:
of course SN,
Mild neuronal loss in the locus coeruleus and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (in the medulla) (mild in 2 of 3 cases examined) and
the cerebellum (js: cerebrum 아님!) (examined at the level of the dentate nucleus and the superior cerebellar peduncle), which showed
mild Purkinje cell loss with empty baskets,
but not in the nucleus basalis of Meynert, raphe nucleus, or other brain regions
{Seike, 2021 #1271} variable degree of neuronal loss in SN & LCGliosis
Mild to moderate gliosis accompanied the neuronal loss previously described,
also evidence of gliosis (in the absence of detectable neuronal loss) in the raphe nucleus, NBM, striatum, globus pallidus, dentate nucleus,
amygdala, hippocampus, and cerebral cortices (Figure 2B).
