We identified the RAB32 c.213 C > G variant in 7/300 unrelated familial PD patients (not found in 300 controls) from Southern Italy, screened by Sanger sequencing. We found a prevalence of 2.33%, higher than that observed in recent international studies (0.0-0.7%), supporting RAB32 gene as a notable cause of familial PD in the Mediterranean area. We first report prodromal PD signs in unaffected mutated family members, suggesting long-term follow-up in RAB32 carriers.
我们通过桑格测序对来自意大利南部的300名无亲缘关系的家族性帕金森病患者进行筛查，在其中7名患者（300名对照中未发现）中鉴定出RAB32基因c.213 C > G变异。我们发现其患病率为2.33%，高于近期国际研究中观察到的患病率（0.0 - 0.7%），这支持RAB32基因是地中海地区家族性帕金森病的一个重要病因。我们首次报告了未受影响的突变家族成员出现帕金森病前驱症状，提示应对RAB32基因携带者进行长期随访。
