Summary
The purpose of this overview is to increase the awareness of clinicians regarding the genetics of Parkinson disease and related genetic counseling issues.
The following are the goals of this overview.
Goal 2.
Review the causes of Parkinson disease.
Goal 4.
Inform genetic counseling for family members of an individual with Parkinson disease.
1. Clinical Characteristics of Parkinson Disease
Clinical Manifestations of Parkinson Disease
Parkinson disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by rest tremor, muscle rigidity, slowed movement (bradykinesia), and often postural instability. Onset is typically unilateral and may include other abnormal movements such as postural or action tremor as well as limb dystonia. Common associated non-motor findings include insomnia, depression, anxiety, rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, fatigue, constipation, dysautonomia, and hyposmia. As part of a prodromal phase, non-motor features may predate formal diagnosis of Parkinson disease by years. With disease progression, bilateral manifestations, balance disturbances, and other complications such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia and motor fluctuations develop. Dementia and/or psychosis occur in 30%-40%.
The diagnosis of Parkinson disease is based on the clinical findings of bradykinesia plus rest tremor and/or rigidity. An important supportive diagnostic feature is an observable response to dopaminergic therapy. Dementia is not an exclusion criterion for diagnosis. While developed for use in a genetic research study, the diagnostic criteria summarized in the following citations are increasingly being used to guide diagnosis in a clinical setting [Postuma et al 2015, Postuma et al 2018].
In instances of diagnostic uncertainty, especially in early stages of disease, neuroimaging such as dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT) or fluoro-dopa positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to make a more definitive diagnosis of dopaminergic deficit [Ba & Martin 2015, Ibrahim et al 2016]. While these studies can document the presence of dopaminergic dysfunction, they cannot distinguish between Parkinson disease and other degenerative forms of parkinsonism such as those included in Parkinson plus syndromes (see ). DAT-SPECT is most commonly used to distinguish Parkinson disease from essential tremor; it can also be used to verify that a symptomatic individual has a non-degenerative form of parkinsonism, such as dopa-responsive dystonia. Laboratory or imaging studies such as brain MRI are useful only in excluding alternative diagnoses such as infarction, tumor, or normal-pressure hydrocephalus.
Parkinson disease: related terms in use in the clinical setting
The cardinal histopathologic feature of Parkinson disease is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra with intracytoplasmic inclusions (alpha-synuclein- containing Lewy bodies) in the remaining intact nigral neurons.
Onset of Parkinson disease is most commonly around age 60 years but can vary. The following are generally accepted descriptions regarding age of onset:
Juvenile-onset Parkinson disease. Age <20 years
Early-onset adult Parkinson disease. Age 20-50 years
Late-onset adult Parkinson disease. Age >50 years
Various terms related to Parkinson disease used in the clinical setting are diagrammed in . Parkinsonism is the broadest term that refers to any disorder that includes bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and imbalance. "Parkinson plus" includes degenerative conditions in which parkinsonism is a major finding, such as multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration.
2. Causes of Parkinson Disease
Parkinson disease results from complex interplay of non-genetic and genetic factors. However, genetic factors are increasingly recognized as causative.
Typically Parkinson disease occurs in only one family member (i.e., a simplex case); less commonly it occurs in several family members (i.e., familial Parkinson disease). Historically, about 15% of individuals with Parkinson disease have a positive family history of PD.
An estimated 5%-10% of all Parkinson disease is attributed to pathogenic variants in single genes (monogenic Parkinson disease) (Table 1, Table 2). In addition to these variants, other genetic and environmental factors – known and unknown – may contribute to overall risk [Kalinderi et al 2016, Kim & Alcalay 2017].
Monogenic Parkinson Disease
Monogenic Parkinson disease can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or, uncommonly, X-linked manner. Age of onset in the proband can be useful in distinguishing autosomal dominant PD (typically age >50 years) from autosomal recessive PD (typically age <40 years) [Kasten et al 2018]; however, age of onset can vary greatly between individuals with the same genetic variant.
Adult-onset Parkinson disease.
Table 1 lists the genes associated with early-onset adult PD (age 20-50 years) and late-onset adult PD (age >50 years). Table 1 uses the recommended International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Task Force for Nomenclature of Genetic Movement Disorders, in which the phenotype prefix, PARK, is followed by the italicized gene symbol (e.g., PARK-LRRK2) [Marras et al 2016].

There is some disagreement among researchers as to whether GBA1 (formerly GBA) should be classified as a monogenic disorder or, alternatively, a risk factor – due to its low age-related penetrance. However, of note, some GBA1 variants (including the fairly common Leu444Pro variant) have estimated penetrance approaching that of LRRK2 variants [Gan-Or et al 2015, Lee et al 2017].
- 4.
The estimated penetrance of the c.1226A>G (p.Asn409Ser) GBA1 variant is 6%-14% for all populations. Higher penetrance is reported for severe GBA1 variants [Gan-Or et al 2015].
- 5.
Juvenile-onset Parkinson disease. Variants in several genes have been associated with juvenile-onset Parkinson disease (i.e., onset age generally <20 years but can vary) (Table 2). Inheritance of juvenile-onset PD is usually autosomal recessive; the clinical presentation often includes additional signs such as dystonia, spasticity, and dementia.

Variants that are deleterious or have a large effect on protein function may lead to more severe, juvenile-onset phenotype, whereas those with a milder effect on protein function may lead to "adult early-onset PD with few or no additional signs and symptoms" [Puschmann 2017].
- 4.
Atypical features are neurologic manifestations including early cognitive decline, severe dystonia, corticospinal signs (hyperreflexia), spasticity, seizures, and oculomotor limitations – in addition to the rigidity, tremor, and bradykinesia that characterize PD.
- 5.
Other suspected genetic risk factors for Parkinson disease. Evidence that variants in other genes may increase the risk for Parkinson disease is less well supported [Kalia & Lang 2015, Ruiz-Martinez et al 2015, Zhang et al 2015, Lee & Hsu 2017, Puschmann 2017, Youn et al 2019]:
Genetic variants reported in single families include RIC3, TMEM230, and UCHL1.
Evidence is conflicting for EIF4G1 and DNAJC13.
Further confirmation is needed to clarify the risk associated with CHCHD2, GIGYF2, and HTRA2.
Additional studies are needed to confirm and clarify the role of variants in these genes in Parkinson disease causation [Kim & Alcalay 2017]. While these genes may appear on Parkinson disease multigene testing panels, it is suggested that they not be included in diagnostic testing because of their limited clinical utility (see Evaluation Strategies).
Susceptibility Genes for Parkinson Disease
In addition to the major known monogenic causes of Parkinson disease (Table 1, Table 2), additional genes and susceptibility loci have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and other research. Furthermore, genetic modifiers may influence lifetime risk for PD or clinical aspects of PD such as age of onset and progression of motor and non-motor features [Davis et al 2016]. While these genetic modifiers may contribute in small ways to PD risk [Reed et al 2019], most are not yet clinically applicable and more research is needed to clarify their role in clinical diagnosis and risk assessment.
Variants in such susceptibility genes differ from variants in genes known to cause Parkinson disease: no variant in any of the susceptibility genes "causes" PD. Thus, such genes should not be included in diagnostic testing (see Evaluation Strategies).
Environmental Risk Factors for Parkinson Disease
One of the most important non-genetic factors contributing to Parkinson disease risk is advancing age. Epidemiologic studies have shown possible association of Parkinson disease with environmental factors including pesticide exposure, head injury, rural living, and infectious agents.
Environmental factors that may be associated with a lower risk for PD include tobacco smoking, caffeine consumption, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), high blood urate levels, and physical activity [Kalia & Lang 2015, Ascherio & Schwarzschild 2016].
3. Evaluation Strategies to Identify the Genetic Cause of Parkinson Disease in a Proband
Establishing a specific genetic cause of Parkinson disease:
Can aid in discussions of causation, recurrence risks, and research eligibility (see
Goal 5).
May provide some information about
phenotype including prognosis of a particular monogenic cause of Parkinson disease (
Table 1,
Table 2).
Medical history. Age of onset and age at diagnosis may help distinguish autosomal dominant monogenic causes of PD and autosomal recessive monogenic causes of PD (Table 1, Table 2). History of another related diagnosis or overlapping condition may aid in diagnosis and guide genetic testing. For example, if dystonia is a predominant feature of the condition, this may suggest alternative testing. (See Dystonia Overview.)
Physical and mental examination. Typically, findings on a physical or mental examination will not entirely implicate a monogenic cause of Parkinson disease. However, the presence of certain clinical features can provide clues, such as significant cognitive impairment (Table 1, Table 2).
Family history. A three-generation family history should be obtained, with particular attention to any individual with a movement disorder and/or neurodegenerative disorder, with the following also noted:
Age (or age at death), which will help distinguish unaffected individuals from individuals whose clinical status cannot be determined as they are younger than the typical age of onset for PD
Details and results of genetic testing of relatives
Ethnicity, as some populations are more likely to have certain causative pathogenic variants (see
Table 1)
Evaluation by a neurologist (preferably one specializing in movement disorders) of first-degree relatives who have findings concerning for PD
Molecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of gene-targeted testing (multigene panel or single-gene testing) and less commonly, comprehensive genomic testing (exome sequencing, exome array, or genomic sequencing). Gene-targeted testing requires the clinician to hypothesize which gene(s) are likely involved, whereas genomic testing does not.
Single-gene or targeted variant testing. In a family with an established molecular diagnosis of PD (i.e., a PD-related
pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member), targeted testing for the
familial variant would be indicated. Gene-targeted testing may be appropriate in other limited circumstances (e.g., a family history of
Gaucher disease indicates an increased likelihood of
GBA1 (formerly
GBA) involvement and an African Berber ancestry indicates a higher likelihood of
LRRK2 involvement). However, single-gene testing is rarely useful and typically not recommended because of the significant overlap in clinical manifestations and age of onset in PD.
A multigene panel that includes some or all of the genes listed in
Table 1 and
Table 2 is most likely to identify a genetic cause of Parkinson disease while limiting identification of variants in genes that do not explain the underlying
phenotype. Note: (1) The genes included in the panel and the diagnostic
sensitivity of the testing used for each
gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Some multigene panels may include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this
GeneReview. Of note, given the rarity of some of the genes associated with Parkinson disease, some panels may not include all the genes included in
Table 1 and
Table 2. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused
exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician. (4) Methods used in a panel may include
sequence analysis,
deletion/duplication analysis, and/or other non-sequencing-based tests.

here. More detailed information for clinicians ordering genetic tests can be found
here.
Comprehensive
genomic testing (which does not require the clinician to determine which
gene[s] are likely involved) may be considered; however, genomic testing in Parkinson disease is still being evaluated, and yield and utility remain to be determined [
Schormair et al 2018,
Trinh et al 2019].

4. Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is the process of providing individuals and families with
information on the nature, mode(s) of inheritance, and implications of genetic disorders to help them
make informed medical and personal decisions. The following section deals with genetic
risk assessment and the use of family history and genetic testing to clarify genetic
status for family members; it is not meant to address all personal, cultural, or
ethical issues that may arise or to substitute for consultation with a genetics
professional. —ED.
Typical, Late-Onset Parkinson Disease of Unknown Cause
Typical, late-onset Parkinson disease of unknown cause is generally presumed to be multifactorial in origin (i.e., the result of combined contributions of genetic and environmental factors). Recurrence risk counseling for family members of individuals with presumed multifactorial Parkinson disease (often referred to as "idiopathic" or "sporadic" in the Parkinson disease literature; see Note) and their family members must be empiric and relatively nonspecific. PD is fairly common in the general population and the cumulative lifetime risk (i.e., to age 85 years) of developing PD approaches 4% [Tysnes & Storstein 2017, Deng et al 2018, Licher et al 2019]. Taking into account family history, the cumulative lifetime risk to first-degree relatives (parents, sibs, and offspring) of an individual with typical, late-onset Parkinson disease of unknown cause who represents a simplex case (i.e., the only affected family member) is estimated be about twofold greater (i.e., 8%) [Gaare et al 2017, Liu et al 2018].
Note: "Idiopathic Parkinson disease" and "sporadic Parkinson disease" are terms used in the Parkinson disease medical literature to describe Parkinson disease of unknown cause diagnosed in an individual with a negative family history. Because future advances in the understanding of genetic risk factors are likely to identify genetic causes / risk factors for some Parkinson disease currently considered "idiopathic" or "sporadic," these terms are generally not used in this GeneReview. Instead, the term "Parkinson disease of unknown cause representing a simplex case" is preferred because "simplex case" refers specifically to an individual with no family history of Parkinson disease without implying presence or absence of a genetic factor or a specific recurrence risk.
Monogenic (Mendelian) Parkinson Disease
Autosomal Dominant Inheritance – Risk to Family Members
Parkinson disease caused by a pathogenic variant in one of four genes – GBA1 (formerly GBA), LRRK2, SNCA, or VPS35 – is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner (Table 1). This section refers only to families having a known Parkinson disease-causing pathogenic variant in one of these four genes.
Parents of a proband
The family history of some individuals diagnosed with
autosomal dominant Parkinson disease may appear to be negative because of failure to recognize the disorder in family members, early death of the parent before the onset of symptoms, late onset of the disease in the affected parent, variable expression, or (especially in
GBA1- and
LRRK2-related Parkinson disease) reduced
penetrance. Therefore, an apparently negative family history can only be confirmed with parental
molecular genetic testing.
Sibs of a proband. The risk to the sibs of the proband depends on the genetic status of the proband's parents:
If a parent of the
proband is known to have the
pathogenic variant identified in the proband, the risk to each sib of having inherited the variant is 50%. While all sibs who inherit a
familial pathogenic variant will be at increased risk for Parkinson disease, not all
heterozygous sibs will manifest the disease; both reduced, age-related
penetrance and intrafamilial clinical variability are observed in
autosomal dominant Parkinson disease.
Offspring of a proband
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance – Risk to Family Members
Parkinson disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ATP13A2, DJ1, DNAJC6, FBXO7, PINK1, PODXL, PRKN, SLC6A3, SYNJ1, or VPS13C is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner (Table 1, Table 2).
Parents of a proband
Sibs of a proband
At conception, each sib of an individual with
autosomal recessive Parkinson disease has a 25% chance of inheriting both pathogenic variants and being affected, a 50% chance of inheriting one
pathogenic variant and being
heterozygous, and a 25% chance of inheriting neither pathogenic variant.
Offspring of a proband. The offspring of an individual with an autosomal recessive Parkinson disease are obligate heterozygotes for a pathogenic variant. Heterozygotes for a pathogenic variant associated with adult-onset Parkinson disease may be at increased the risk of Parkinson disease (see AR Inheritance, Parents of a proband).

5. Participation in Targeted Therapeutic Clinical Trials
Several gene-targeted therapies for Parkinson disease are currently in development [Sardi et al 2018]. Individuals may be candidates for a given Parkinson disease clinical trial if they undergo molecular genetic testing and a pathogenic variant in the gene under study is identified.
Clinical trials for individuals with Parkinson disease and GBA1 (formerly GBA) or LRRK2 pathogenic variants are now ongoing (www.clinicaltrials.gov). Testing for common GBA1 or LRRK2 variants is available through direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing or, more formally, through a health care professional. See GeneReviews
Resources for Genetics Professionals for an overview of DTC testing.
