The mutation spectra vary markedly across ethnic groups. However, YOPD among the Hakka, a subgroup of the Han Chinese ethnicity, remains uncharacterized. We investigated the genetic and clinical profiles of YOPD in the Hakka population of western Fujian.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 33 unrelated patients with YOPD were included in the study. All patients underwent whole exome sequencing (WES) to screen all known Parkinson's disease (PD)\u2010related genes. Patients with a family history also received a spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) gene panel test. If the SCA gene panel test result was negative, multiplex ligation\u2010dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for eight genes including\n DJ\u20101, ATP13A2, PINK1, UCHL1, SNCA, LRRK2, PRKN<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n GCH1<\/jats:italic>\n was performed. Potential pathogenic variants were confirmed\u00a0by Sanger sequencing, and both the genetic spectrum and clinical characteristics of patients with YOPD were analyzed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n After variant filtering, six variants in four YOPD\u2010related genes were identified in four unrelated patients. Of these patients, two harbored pathogenic\n ATXN2<\/jats:italic>\n repeat expansions. Four variants in\n VPS13C<\/jats:italic>\n and\n PRKN<\/jats:italic>\n , along with an\n SNCA<\/jats:italic>\n exon 1\u20136 duplication, were classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) criteria. A considerable proportion of patients harbored risk variants in\n LRRK2<\/jats:italic>\n . Furthermore, nine unrelated patients harbored nine variants within six susceptibility genes associated with YOPD, including\n EIF4G1<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n COQ2<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n TENM4<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n NR4A2<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n UQCRC1<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n GBA1<\/jats:italic>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n This study is the first to analyze the genetic spectrum and clinical characteristics of patients with YOPD in the Hakka population of western Fujian Province. Genetic testing of known pathogenic genes in patients with YOPD can facilitate more accurate diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.71504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]],"date-time":"2026-05-28T06:35:23Z","timestamp":1779950123000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Genetic Variants and Clinical Characteristics of Young\u2010Onset Parkinson's Disease in the Hakka Population of Western Fujian"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Li\u2010Ying","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Longyan Fujian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Longyan Fujian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Longyan Fujian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao\u2010Hong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Longyan Fujian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan\u2010Gui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Longyan Fujian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong\u2010Rong","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine Hangzhou Zhejiang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jalz.2014.02.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000271080.53272.c7"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jep.2008.01.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474\u20104422(19)30287\u2010X"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mdc3.13699"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cells12050764"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000269323.21969.db"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.15509"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.28191"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/9780520338678"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mdc3.12501"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddv281"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.26753"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2022.849462"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/genes14112097"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkt1113"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp324"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurobiolaging.2019.12.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acn3.51248"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.27633"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/humu.22932"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13002-019-0335-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2014.02.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.20753"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22682"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000277637.33328.d8"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41531\u2010023\u201000456\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_29_1","volume-title":"Village and Family in Contemporary China","author":"Parish W.
