Genetic analysis is changing our view of Parkinson's disease: not only is it challenging the long‐cherished views about the diagnosis of the disease, it is also starting to suggest a biochemical pathway to disease pathogenesis. These developments are reviewed in the context of three known (synuclein, parkin, and DJ‐1) and one suspected (ubiquitin hydrolase) genes for the disease. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
