The sooner, the later – Delayed diagnosis in Parkinson's disease due to Parkin mutations

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.
