We describe the clinical features of a Sarawakian man of Ibanese ethnicity with young-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD), who carried a very rare homozygous PRKN exon 7 duplication. Truncal dystonia was a prominent feature on presentation, in addition to classical parkinsonian motor features. This report adds to the very limited literature on monogenic causes of PD in Southeast Asia and specifically the indigenous group in the Borneo region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
