Although monogenic forms represent only a small subset of PD cases, several genetic factors—including nucleotide repeat expansions (NREs) in ATXN2, ATXN3, C9ORF72, TBP, POLG, TOMM40, CACNA1A, and PRNP—have been implicated in neurodegenerative conditions with parkinsonian features. This evidence concerns the gene PRNP and Parkinson disease.
