genes and who were found to be negative. 1 In this group of 122 patients, we identified 5 patients with an FMR1 premutation and in 4 of them a definite diagnosis of fragile Xassociated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) could be made, based on the proposed diagnostic criteria for FXTAS. We proposed base

## Abstract Among mutations associated with autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) the G2019S substitution in the leucineβrich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is the most frequently identified. To estimate its frequency in Russia, we analyzed 208 patients with PD from the Northwester
## Abstract Mutations in the leucineβrich repeat kinase 2 (__LRRK2__) gene have been shown to cause autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). We report here the frequency of a common heterozygous mutation, 2877510G>A, which produces a glycineβtoβserine amino acid substitution at cod
To evaluate the frequency of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in Italy, we tested 1,072 probands with Parkinson's disease (PD; 822 sporadic and 250 familial): 20 patients (1.9%) carried the G2019S mutation, 11 patients (1.3%) were sporadic, and 9 (4.3%) had a positive family history. Considering only proba
## Abstract Mutations in the LeucineβRich Repeat Kinase 2 gene (__LRRK2__) are mainly responsible for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) with either a dominant pattern of transmission or a sporadic occurrence due to the reduced penetrance. A majority of __LRRK2__ kindreds demonstrate an extremely
