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.

ATXN2 (Ataxin 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ATXN2 include spinocerebellar ataxia 2 and olivopontocerebellar atrophy. Among its related pathways are Akt Signaling and Parkinsons Disease Pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include RNA binding and epidermal growth factor receptor binding.An important paralog of this gene is ATXN2L.rotein differential expression in normal tissues for ATXN2 Gene. This gene is overexpressed in Testis (11.1), Fetal Brain (10.9), Plasma (9.6), Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (6.6), and Pancreas (6.1).
