Mechanisms of Mutant LRRK2 Neurodegeneration.

Abstract excerpt

LRRK2 mutations are associated with the loss of neurons, that is to say toxicity, in patients and in experimental model systems. However, the mechanisms by which mutations can be linked to neurodegeneration are not fully defined. Here I will argue that mechanism in this context encompasses a variety of levels of information. Mutations or alterations in gene expression at a genetic level are one set of mechanisms...
