Abstract excerpt
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 1 gene (LRRK1) on chromosome 15q26.3 is a paralog of LRRK2 in which multiple substitutions were recently linked to Parkinson's disease. We have examined the exon-intron structure of the gene and the expressed mRNA sequence in brain. LRRK1 sequencing analysis in 95 probands from families with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease identified 23 variants, 14 of which are novel, with four...
