Abstract excerpt
Amyloid is the main pathological substrate of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and has been described in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) carriers with Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 has been linked with amyloid precursor protein pathways in neurodegeneration. Two common LRRK2 variants, R1398H and N551K, have been shown to be protective in multiple Parkinson's disease cohorts. We hypothesized that R1398H and N551K may be...
