Juvenile Parkinson's disease (JPD) is a rare condition characterized by the onset of parkinsonian motor symptoms before the age of 21.

mutations. Resting tremor was the most frequent initial symptom (81.3%), and non-motor symptoms were notably common, including mild cognitive impairment (56.3%), anxiety (62.5%), and depression (56.3%). Levodopa responsiveness was suboptimal in 9 patients and 14 exhibited motor fluctuations. JPD demonstrates distinct clinical characteristics compared with early-onset and late-onset PD.
