Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Variants in the UQCRC1 gene have been proposed to cause autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease with neuropathy. However, definitive confirmation of UQCRC1 as an authentic Parkinson's gene remains elusive, as follow-up studies have not yet provided conclusive evidence.
METHODS: 382 Austrian Parkinson's patients, particularly selected for familial and/or early onset cases, were Exome sequenced.
RESULTS: We found three unrelated patients with a positive family history of the disease who shared the same rare missense variant in the UQCRC1 gene: c.1214G > T; p.(Gly405Val). The variant is very rare in the control population, with an allele frequency of 2 × 10-6 in the gnomAD database. None of the three patients carries a rare variant in a monogenic Parkinson's disease gene.
CONCLUSION: We suggest that UQCRC1 p.(Gly405Val) probably contributes to the development of the disease in these three patients. Our findings provide further evidence that UQCRC1 is a 'bona fide' Parkinson's disease gene.
