Figure 2. Regional neuronal loss (A) and gliosis (B) in parkin, Parkinson
disease (PD), and control cases. A, The severity of neuronal loss in various
brain regions in the 5 parkin, 5 PD, and 4 control cases (not all structures
were available for examination in all cases [eg, the raphe was only available
for examination in 3 parkin, 2 PD, and 3 control cases]). B, The severity of
gliosis in various brain regions in the parkin, PD, and control cases.
GP indicates globus pallidus; DMV, dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus;
LC, locus coeruleus; NBM, nucleus basalis of Meynert; SN, substantia nigra.Note:
neuronal dropout (의미 못 찾겠음) and gliosis are the neuropathologic findings

*The pattern of pathology did not conform well to the Braak PD staging scheme as the density of brain stem LBs did not show the expected increase when LB pathology extended beyond the brain stem.

Notes:
clinical phenotype
- juvenile Parkinsonism: AR, early disease onset (mean age of onset: without LBs,
postmortem, 27 years) and a marked response to levodopa (Khan et al., 2003);
- prominent lower extremity hyperkinetic movements (i.e., foot dystonia, leg tremor)
and relative lack of nonmotor features
- long term outcome
- Long-term survival of patients with PRKN-related PD is usually favorable.
Although they have a low age at disease onset, most of them have a long disease duration
- Dx
- The diagnosis of parkin type of early-onset Parkinson disease can only be confirmed
when pathogenic variants are identified on both alleles of PARK2

- median age at onset is 31 years (range: 3-81 y) (Brüggemann N, 2020 #779)
- Lower-limb dystonia in 65% (may be a presenting sign or may occur during disease progression),
- Well-preserved sense of smell
- Hyperreflexia (50%)
- Slowly progressive: (Alcalay, 2014 #1034, N=21, cross sectional, but they perform better on UPDRS III)
