Abstract excerpt

Variation in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene represents the most common genetic determinant of Parkinson's disease (PD) identified to date. While the frequency and distribution of LRRK2 mutations have been well-studied in Europe and North America, few data are available from South America. To address this gap in knowledge, we screened two cohorts of patients with PD from Peru (n=240) and Uruguay...
