Neuropathology of Parkinson's disease associated with the LRRK2 Ile1371Val mutation

Abstract excerpt

Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene mutations are the most common known cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), but neuropathological studies are available on very few patients with LRRK2 mutation. The reported findings range from Lewy body-positive pathology to different pathologies, including nigral degeneration without distinctive features, neuronal loss with only ubiquitin-positive inclusions, and...
