BackgroundMutations within the genes PRKN and PINK1 are the leading cause of early onset autosomal recessive Parkinsons disease (PD). However, the genetic cause of most early-onset PD (EOPD) cases still remains unresolved. Long-read sequencing has successfully identified many pathogenic structural variants that cause disease, but this technology has not been widely applied to PD. We recently identified the genetic cause of EOPD in a pair of monozygotic twins by uncovering a complex structural va...
