## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically a sporadic illness, but the past decade has witnessed the identification of mutations responsible for multiple familial forms of the disease. The proposed functions of some of these genes (e.g., E3 ubiquitin ligase, redox‐dependent chaperone) have l

## Abstract An increasing number of nonsynonymous __LRRK2__ variants are being reported as putative pathogenic mutations. We identified one large kindred harboring the Lrrk2 R1514Q substitution; however, the variant did not segregate fully with disease. Combined analyses of three case–control serie
## Abstract __Leucine‐Rich Repeat Kinase 2__ (__LRRK2__) gene mutations are the most common known cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), but neuropathological studies are available on very few patients with __LRRK2__ mutation. The reported findings range from Lewy body–positive pathology to different p
## Abstract We report the neuropathological findings in a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with Basque R1441G‐__LRRK2__/dardarin mutation. The patient was a man with disease onset at 68 years of age, with unilateral rest tremor; the Parkinsonism was well controlled with medication f
## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, with a prevalence of more than 1% after the age of 65 years. Mutations in the gene encoding leucine‐rich repeat kinase‐2 (__LRRK2__) have recently been linked to autosomal dominant, late‐onset PD that is cl
## Abstract Dominantly inherited mutations in leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 are the most common cause of familial Parkinson's disease. Understanding leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 biology and pathophysiology is central to the elucidation of Parkinson's disease etiology and development of disease inter
