This document discusses the genetic etiology of Parkinson's disease. It outlines several major genes and proteins involved in Parkinson's including SNCA, LRRK2, PRKN, and PINK1. It describes the pathways they are involved in such as synaptic transmission, mitochondrial quality control, and lysosome-mediated autophagy. It also covers the clinical features and progression of Parkinson's disease, as well as modes of inheritance and risk factors.
