Parkinson's disease associated with 22q11.2 deletion: Clinical characteristics and response to treatment.
CONCLUSION: Searching for 22q11.2-del in PD patients presenting with suggestive features is relevant as the clinical presentation is similar to idiopathic PD, but with other associated characteristics, including a severe evolution. Results with DBS are similar to those reported for idiopathic PD.
