## Abstract A heterozygous 2264C→T variant (P755L) in __LRRK2__ gene has been reported to be a likely pathogenic variant among ethnic Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). In a case control study, we performed genetic analysis of the P755L variant in an independent cohort of Chinese patie

Abstract
Genealogical investigation of a large Norwegian family (F04) with autosomal dominant parkinsonism has identified 18 affected family members over four generations. Genetic studies have revealed a novel pathogenic LRRK2 mutation c.4309 A>C (p.Asn1437His) that co‐segregates with disease manifestation (LOD = 3.15, θ = 0). Affected carriers have an early age at onset (48 ± 7.7 SD years) and are clinically asymmetric and levodopa responsive. The variant was absent in 623 Norwegian control subjects. Further screening of patients from the same population identified one additional affected carrier (1 of 692) with familial parkinsonism who shares the same haplotype. The mutation is located within the Roc domain of the protein and enhances GTP‐binding and kinase activity, further implicating these activities as the mechanisms that underlie LRRK2‐linked parkinsonism. © 2010 Movement Disorder Society

## 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 Mutations in __LRRK2__ were first reported as causing Parkinson's disease (PD) in late 2004. Since then, approximately a dozen __LRRK2__ substitutions have been identified that are believed to be pathogenic mutations. The substitution of adenine for guanine at nucleotide 4541 (4541G>A)
## Abstract Among mutations associated with autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) the G2019S substitution in the leucine‐rich 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 ## Background and objective. Mutations in the __Leucine‐Rich Repeat Kinase 2__ (__LRRK2__) gene at chromosome 12q12 are the most common genetic cause of sporadic and familial late‐onset Parkinson's disease. Our aim was to identify novel __LRRK2__ mutations in late‐onset Parkinson's dis
## Abstract Mutations in the __Leucine‐Rich Repeat Kinase 2__ (__LRRK2__) gene are the most frequent known cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), but their prevalence varies markedly between populations. Here we studied the frequency and associated phenotype of four recurrent __LRRK2__ mutations (R1441
