Eye movement abnormalities in various genetic parkinsonism syndromes.

Type of mutation Characteristic eye movement abnormalities
PARK 1 Increased latency of horizontal and vertical saccades as well as antisaccades
Frequent multiple vertical saccades instead of single one
Poor gain of vertical saccades
Reduced precision of vertical saccades
Poor performance on tasks involving antisaccades
PARK 2 Decreased gain of horizontal and vertical saccades
Poor performance on tasks involving antisaccades
PARK 6 Increased latency of horizontal saccades
Frequent multistep vertical saccades
PARK 9 Increased latency of horizontal and vertical saccades as well as antisaccades
Reduced gain, precision and velocity of horizontal and vertical saccades
Frequent multiple vertical saccades instead of single one
Poor performance on tasks involving antisaccades
