S tudy of LRRK2 variation in tauopathy: Progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration
6 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Unexpectedly, tau pathology has been reported in a subset of LRRK2 mutation carriers. METHODS: To estimate the frequency of pathogenic LRRK2 mutations and to evaluate the association of common LRRK2 variants with risk of primary tauopathies, we studied 1039 progressive supranuclear...
