Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The G2019S mutation of LRRK2, which enhances kinase activity of the protein, confers a substantial risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mutation demonstrates incomplete penetrance, suggesting the involvement of other genetic or environmental modulating factors. Here, we investigated whether LRRK2 G2019S knock-in (KI) mice treated with the inflammogen lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could...
