Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Amongst Parkinson's disease (PD) genetic factors, mutations in LRRK2, SNCA, VPS35 and GBA genes are recognized causes of PD. Nonetheless, few genetic screenings have been conducted in families with a history of PD consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance (ADPD), and their relevance to the etiology of PD has been poorly explored in Latin American populations, such as the Brazilian one, with a...
