Caffeinated Drinks, LRRK2 Genotype and PD
Objective: To determine the role of caffeine containing drinks on penetrance in LRRK2-associated PD Background: LRRK2 penetrance is reduced for PD [1]. Environment and/or other…Interval from onset of Parkinson disease to onset of motor and non-motor complications in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) G2019S positive versus matched PD controls
Objective: To compare the latency between onset of Parkinson disease (PD) symptoms and onset of motor and non-motor complications of PD, between G2019S LRRK2 mutation…Spiral Analysis is a Promising Biomarker in LRRK2 G2019S carriers
Objective: To assess whether harboring a LRRK2 G2019S mutation is associated with abnormalities in spiral drawing, including in mutation carriers with Parkinson Disease (PD) as…Screening of GBA and LRRK2 G2019S Mutations in Egyptian Parkinson’s Disease Patients
Objective: We aim to estimate the frequency of mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) and LRRK2 G2019S in a yet unstudied Egyptian Parkinson's disease population from the…Neuromelanin Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Substatia Nigra in LRRK2 -related Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate neuromelanin-Magnetic Resonance signal changes in PD patients carrying a LRRK2 mutation. Background: Specific magnetic resonance (MR) sequences are able to…High throughput pooled-DNA sequencing of mendelian/susceptibility Parkinson’s disease genes in Spanish population
Objective: The primary outcome of our study was the identification of rare variants in 5 major Mendelian PD genes (SNCA, PARK2, PINK1, DJ1, LRRK2) and…A novel haplotype in LRRK2 is associated with risk for multiple system atrophy in the Korean population
Objective: To (1) validate past results by investigating the role of LRRK2 exonic variants in an equivalent Korean series with MSA and (2) identify novel…Defective ubiquitinated mitochondria accumulation in aged Parkinsonian LRRK2R1441G knockin mice
Objective: (1) To determine potential accumulation of defective ubiquitinated mitochondria in the brains of aged LRRK2R1441G knockin (KI) mice and their age-matched wildtype controls; and…Differential expression of cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) in the hippocampus and in the striatum of LRRK-2 mutant rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of our study was to characterize the behavioral phenotype of the transgenic LRRK-2 rat in the context of PD model and to…Detection of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 in human biofluids
Objective: To evaluate the presence of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) in human biosamples, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine, as a first step towards…
