Early onset parkinsonism (EOP) has been associated with mutations in the Parkin, PINK1, and DJ-1 genes. We studied the prevalence of mutations in all three genes in 127 unrelated Chinese patients with apparently sporadic EOP using direct sequencing analysis and real-time quantitative PCR analysis assay. There are 16 patients (12.6%) with mutations of Parkin gene, four patients (3.1%) with mutations of PINK1 gene, and three patients (2.4%) with mutation of DJ-1 gene. In conclusion, Parkin gene mutation is the most common pathogenic factor in Chinese patients with sporadic EOP. Mutations of DJ-1 and PINK1 gene are also found in Chinese patients with sporadic EOP.
