What mechanisms cause Parkinson's disease in PARKIN mutation carriers if not mitochondrial dysfunction?

OPEN

If PARKIN loss doesn't impair mitochondrial function as shown here, the pathogenic mechanism underlying PARKIN-related PD remains unexplained. Understanding this mechanism is critical for developing targeted therapies for early-onset PD patients. Gap type: open_question Source paper: PARKIN is not required to sustain OXPHOS function in adult mammalian tissues. (None, None, PMID:38684669)
