Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are recognized as the most frequent genetic factors contributing to Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of our study was to explore LRRK2 variants in PD patients within the mainland Han Chinese population. The whole coding regions of LRRK2 from 296 PD patients were sequenced by targeted regions sequencing and exome sequencing. Eighteen rare variants were identified...
