Higher urate in LRRK2 mutation carriers resistant to Parkinson disease
14 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: LRRK2 mutations, the most common genetic cause of Parkinson disease (PD), display incomplete penetrance, indicating the importance of other genetic and environmental influences on disease pathogenesis in LRRK2 mutation carriers.
