Rare biallelic loss-of-function variants in the <i>LRRK2</i> kinase cause interstitial lung disease
2026-05-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> We report that biallelic LRRK2 loss-of-function (LoF) causes a Mendelian form of interstitial lung disease characterized by alveolar epithelial cell dysfunction and lung fibrosis in two brothers with a homozygous nonsense variant. Integrated clinical, imaging, histopathological, and biomarker analyses showed absent LRRK2 protein, reduced Rab10 phosphorylation, impaired alveolar type 2 cell funct...
