Abstract

En 中文
<jats:p> Juvenile Parkinson's disease (JPD) is a rare condition characterized by the onset of parkinsonian motor symptoms before the age of 21. Sixteen patients with JPD who presented to the Mayo Clinic between 1990-2020 were included. The median age of symptoms onset was 18.5 years, and six cases had pathogenic <jats:italic toggle="yes">PRKN</jats:italic> 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. </jats:p>
