Variable frequency of LRRK2 variants in the Latin American research consortium on the genetics of Parkinson’s disease (LARGE-PD), a case of ancestry
26 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mutations in Leucine Repeat Rich Kinase 2 (LRRK2) , primarily located in codons G2019 and R1441, represent the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease in European-derived populations. However, little is known about the frequency of these mutations in Latin American populations. In addition, a prior study suggested that a LRRK2 polymorphism (p.Q1111H) specific to Latino and Amerindian populations...
