DNAJC12 mutation is rare in Chinese Han population with Parkinson's disease

This study aimed to evaluate DNAJC12 coding mutations in sporadic Chinese Han patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and test whether an age-of-onset effect exists. Seven hundred two Chinese Han sporadic PD patients, including 181 early-onset PD and 521 late-onset PD, and 728 healthy controls were recruited. No documented disease-causing mutation of DNAJC12 was identified, but we found 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
