PINK1 Human ADAR2 1 A-to-I Stop codon at position 437 in PINK1 are linked to an inheritable monogenetic form of Parkinson's disease(PD) and it results in the impairment of the Parkin-dependent perinuclear clustering and is characterized by a cellular phenotype: loss of mitophagy. So, some researchers apply RNA-editing technology to recode the mutation in PINK1(W437X) to rescue the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy.
