Mutation in PARK15 are associated with a juvenile form of parkinsonism. PARK15 encodes FBXO7, a subunit of the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase. Specific deletion of FBXO7 in glutamatergic or dopaminergic neurons results in motor deficits, supporting a fundamental role for FBXO7 in neurons. While the loss of FBXO7 has little or no effect on cell survival, it affects brain wiring and connectivity.
In line with the phenotype of PARK15 KO mice, Parkinson disease (PD) is viewed as a synaptopathy. In addition to motor defects, PD is associated with olfactory dysfunction, its symptoms preceding motor deficits.
