Abstract excerpt
Mutations in leucine-rich repeated kinase 2 (LRRK2) cause autosomal dominant late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD), and the G2019S mutation in the kinase domain of LRRK2 is the most common genetic cause of familial PD. Enhanced kinase activity of G2019S LRRK2 is a suspected mechanism for carriers to develop PD but pathophysiological function of G2019S LRRK2 is not clear. The objective of the present study was to...
