PARK2 (OMIM *602544) is the parkin gene that may cause a form of autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson disease (OMIM 600116) due to a mutation in the parkin protein. This form of genetic mutation may be one of the most common known genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson disease.In one study of patients with onset of Parkinson disease prior to age 40 (10% of all PD patients), 18% had parkin mutations, with 5% homozygous mutations.his form of genetic mutation may be one of the most common known genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson disease.

The PARK7 gene provides instructions for making the DJ-1 protein. This protein is found in many tissues and organs, including the brain. Studies indicate that the DJ-1 protein has several functions, although none are fully understood.he PARK7 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 1 at position 36.23. More precisely, the PARK7 gene is located from base pair 7,961,653 to base pair 7,985,282 on chromosome 1.
