Objectives Our aim was to clinically and biologically characterize individuals with PARK‐ RAB32 to gain insights into genotype–phenotype relationships, disease severity, and underlying pathology. Methods We conducted a literature review following the MDSGene protocol, alongside detailed phenotyping of 11 PARK‐ RAB32 patients and one prodromal individual from the Rostock International PD (ROPAD) study. In addition to comprehensive scale‐based assessments, including olfactory testing, we obtained neuroimaging data and various biomaterials, and performed α‐synuclein seeding assays (SAA) in cerebrospinal fluid in a subset. Results 83 patients (72 from the literature) were included in the analysis. The median age at onset was 54 (IQR: 46–61) years. Typical parkinsonism with a favorable dopaminergic response was observed in all patients. In our cohort, after a median disease duration of 11 years (IQR: 7–19.5), the mean Movement Disorders Society Modified Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS‐UPDRS) III score was 38.5 ± 21.8 points. Targeted testing revealed autonomic symptoms were present in all individuals, and 10 of 11 patients had hyposmia. Misfolded α‐synuclein was identified in 2 of 2 patients, but not in the prodromal individual. 123I‐FP‐CIT imaging was available for eight patients, revealing neurodegeneration in all of them. Conclusion While PARK‐ RAB32 is clinically and likely pathologically similar to idiopathic PD, our study underscores the importance of carefully assessing non‐motor symptoms in this newly described form of PD. According to SynNeurGe criteria, PARK‐ RAB32 is classified as S + (evidence of synucleinopathy), N + (neurodegeneration supported by imaging data), and G P + (presence of a genetic variant). © 2025 The Author(s).
