Abstract excerpt
The mutation of the leucine-rich repeat kinase2 gene (LRRK2) is the most commonly detected genetic determinant of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the specific role of the LRRK2 mutation in the occurrence of the autosomal-dominant family PD remains to be elucidated. In this study, we report a large Chinese LRRK2-related PD family with 33 members of four generations. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral...
