LRRK2 gene G2019S mutation and SNPs [haplotypes] in subtypes of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation within the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene has been identified as a cause of autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of G2019S mutation and whether the differences in the allele and genotype distribution of six SNPs within LRRK2 gene are associated with PD in an American non-Hispanic white population. The sample included 350 sporadic...
