Abstract

The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) in patients carrying mutations in the Parkin gene is frequently delayed. We confirmed this finding in a sample of nine biallelic Parkin-PD patients with a mean delay of nine years and found an inverse relationship between diagnostic delay and age at onset.
