Leucine rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is the most well-known etiologic gene for familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Its gene product is a large kinase with multiple functional domains that phosphorylates a subset of Rab small GTPases. However, studies of autopsy cases with LRRK2 mutations indicate a varied pathology, and the molecular functions of LRRK2 and its relationship to PD pathogenesis are largely unknown....
