Abstract

GIGYF2 (GRB10 Interacting GYF Protein 2) gene encodes a protein deeply involved in the regulation of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that was genetically linked to Parkinson, mutations in the gene are directly related to Parkinson disease type 11. Thus, the identification of GIGYF2 gene mutations is important in determining the disease status as well as the basis for clinicians to make prognosis and genetic counseling. This study was conducted on 50 Parkinson's patients with an average age of 53.6 ± 8.9 years old, male/female ratio of 1.63. Using Sanger sequencing, the study detected 4/50 patients carrying mutations in the GIGYF2 gene (accounting for 8%), mutations are heterozygous.
