## Abstract Mutations in the leucine‐rich 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 glycine‐to‐serine 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
