Parkinsonism constitutes a set of clinical signs and symptoms characterized by bradykinesia and tremor at rest and / or rigidity. The main etiology is Parkinson's disease (PD), but there are other causes such as atypical parkinsonism. The vast majority of PD cases are sporadic, however, there is a minority where the etiology is due to an inherited mutation, either autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (RA), or X-linked inheritance. Identifying these heritable causes is important for proper genetic counseling and treatment. We present the case of a patient with early-onset PD where an AD mutation in the GIGYF2 gene (PARK11) was identified. We subsequently present a brief review of the literature.

Keywords : Genetic loci; Genetics; Parkinsonian disorders; Parkinson disease (MeSH).
