Parkinson disease 22, autosomal dominant

Parkinson disease 22, autosomal dominant is a form of Parkinson disease where the condition is caused by a mutation in the CHCHD2 gene. This means that changes in this specific gene are linked to the development of the condition, which is passed down in families through an autosomal dominant pattern. Although it is grouped with other types of Parkinson disease, this type is defined by its unique genetic cause. Information about the full range of clinical features and how it may differ from more common forms of Parkinson disease is not detailed in the available sources.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

This condition is caused by a mutation in the CHCHD2 gene. Because the disorder follows an autosomal dominant pattern, a change in just one copy of the gene can lead to the development of the disease. This genetic mutation disrupts normal cellular function which is important in the brain, a common feature in Parkinson disease conditions.

Information about treatment options and management is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
