Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have confirmed the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene as a susceptibility locus for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasians. Though the rs1491942 and rs76904798 variants have shown the strongest associations, the causal variant(s) remains unresolved. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify variants that may be driving the LRRK2 GWAS...
