<h4>Background</h4>Mutations in the <i>PLA2G6</i> gene cause a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders, with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (AREP) and dystonia-parkinsonism (DP) representing the two primary subtypes of adult-onset PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN).<h4>Case presentation</h4>We report a Chinese female patient with parkinsonism caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the <i>PLA2G6</i> gene. Here, PLA2G6 is linked to Parkinsonism.
