Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, imposing significant physical, mental, social, and financial burden on patients and caregivers. PD is characterized by cardinal features of resting tremor, cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. With the rapid growth of recent studies, genetic factors play a crucial role in the progression of Parkinson’s disease. The purpose of the research is to identify mutations of the SNCA, PARK2, PARK7, and LRRK2 genes of Parkinson’s patients by sequencing method. 50 Parkinson’s patients were selected for this study. The direct sequencing method was used to identify SNCA, PARK2, PARK7, and LRRK2 mutations. Results: 4.0% of cases had SNCA mutations, 8.0% of cases had PARK2 mutations, 2.0% of cases had PARK7 mutations, 6.0% of cases had LRRK2 mutations, 80.0% of cases did not have mutations. The average age was 52.86 ± 10.06. The ratio of male/female was 1.17.
