Genetic etiology of Parkinson disease associated with mutations in the SNCA, PARK2, PINK1, PARK7, and LRRK2 genes: a mutation update.

TL;DR: It became apparent that several of the five Parkinson genes were also contributing to the genetic etiology of other Lewy Body Diseases and Parkinson‐plus syndromes, indicating that mutation screening is recommendable in these patient groups.

Identification of TMEM230 mutations in familial Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: This work reports a locus for autosomal dominant, clinically typical and Lewy body–confirmed Parkinson's disease on the short arm of chromosome 20 (20pter-p12) and identifies TMEM230 as the disease-causing gene and shows that it encodes a transmembrane protein of secretory/recycling vesicles, including synaptic vesicle trafficking in neurons.
