Parkinson's disease (PD) is clinically, pathologically, and genetically heterogeneous, resisting distillation to a single, cohesive disorder. Instead, each affected individual develops virtually unique form of syndrome. Clinical manifestations consist variable motor nonmotor features, myriad overlaps are recognized with other neurodegenerative conditions. Although most commonly characterized by alpha-synuclein protein pathology throughout the central peripheral nervous systems, distribution varies pathologies modify PD or trigger similar manifestations. Nearly all influenced. More than 100 genes genetic loci have been identified, cases likely arise from interactions among many common rare variants. Despite its complex architecture, insights experimental dissection coalesce reveal unifying biological themes, including synaptic, lysosomal, mitochondrial, andimmune-mediated mechanisms pathogenesis. This emerging understanding syndrome, coupled advances in biomarkers targeted therapies, presages successful precision medicine strategies.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative movement disorders worldwide. There are currently no cures or preventative treatments for PD. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction closely associated with pathogenesis sporadic and familial Because dopaminergic neurons have high energy demand, cells affected by PD exhibit promotes disease-defining loss in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). The mitochondrion has a particularly important role as cellular "powerhouse" neurons. Therefore, mitochondria become promising therapeutic target treatments.
