Summary

This study aimed to understand the genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson's disease, which affects people before age 50. Researchers enrolled 31 participants, including patients and healthy family members, to collect blood and skin samples for genetic analysis. The goal was to learn how specific gene mutations affect cells and contribute to disease development, which could help guide future treatments.
