Table of Contents:

Parkinson's disease (PD) and mitophagy
Pathogenic mutations in the genes associated with autosomal recessive PD interfere with the mitophagy pathway
Mitophagy is the selective degradation of damaged mitochondria by autophagy
Mitophagy allows optimal cellular energy production while it avoids toxic accumulation of damaged mitochondria in neurons
