LRRK2 as a target for modulating immune system responses.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are associated with familial and sporadic cases of Parkinson's disease (PD) but are also found in patients with immune- related disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and leprosy, linking LRRK2 to the immune system. Supporting this genetic evidence, in the last decade LRRK2 was robustly shown to modulate inflammatory responses at both...
