• Abstract In order to determine the prevalence of GIGYF2 (Grb10-Interacting GYF Protein 2) variants in the Chinese population and to better understand the association between GIGYF2 and Parkinson's disease (PD), we conducted the genetic screening of GIGYF2 in the Chinese population. Twelve exonic variants were identified in 52 familial PD probands and 56 healthy controls. Non-synonymous point variants (Thr25Ala, Asn457Th and Pro460Th) were analyzed in 510 PD patients and 481 healthy controls of Chinese Han ethnicity. The insertion and deletion variants in Exon 25 (Ins Q 1212, Ins QQ 1217, Del Q 1210, Del Q 1216 and Del PPQ1217_1219) are not related to the onset of familial PD. Our data indicate the GIGYF2 variants are not associated with PD in the mainland Chinese Population.
