## Abstract A common __LRRK2__ missense variant, Gly2385Arg, has been found to be a genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) in ethnic Chinese and Japanese. However, the presence of the variant in other non‐Chinese Asian patients has not been fully clarified. We performed genetic analysis o
## Abstract We conducted a case–control study to determine the prevalence of the __LRRK2__ Gly2385Arg variant in patients with Parkinson's disease in Han population in mainland China. Heterozygous __LRRK2__ Gly2385Arg variant was identified in 14 of 235 patients with Parkinson's disease (5.69%), bu
## Abstract To determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns of brain atrophy in parkinsonian syndromes, we applied voxel‐based morphometry (VBM) to segmented gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid compartments of T~1~‐weighted brain volumes of 12 patients with probable multiple s
Recent observations suggest that levodopa can induce irresistible sleep onset in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Therefore, we assessed sleepiness during a levodopa challenge in 17 MSA compared with 23 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS). SSS scores during the
## Abstract This study aimed to determine in vivo the atrophy patterns in clinically established cerebellar variant of multiple‐system atrophy (MSA‐C) using voxel‐based morphometry (VBM). Thirteen patients with MSA‐C (12 probable, 1 possible) and 13 healthy controls matched for age and sex were inc
