Impaired stress-induced mitophagy in parkinsonian LRRK2(R1441G) knockin mutant mice
Objective: 1. Morphological changes and accumulation of ubiquitinated mitochondria in the striatum of aged leucine-rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)R1441G knockin mutant mice (Liu et al., 2014,…Understanding the role of LRRK2 in Indian population
Objective: Genomic approaches in Caucasian population show little transferability to other ethnically diverse populations such as Indian population. Understanding the genetic architecture of a disease…Assessing the response to L-dopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion (Deudopa) based on genetic status.
Objective: To asses genetic impact on dosage of L-dopa/carbidopa treatment Background: L-dopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion (LCIG) is a method of continuous dopaminergic stimulation used in…Comparison of the non-motor symptom assessment scale between LRRK2 G2019S positive versus matched control Parkinson disease
Objective: To compare the non-motor symptom assessment scale (NMSS) score between Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutation carriers with Parkinson disease (PD) and matched controls with…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…Lack of association between LRRK2 G2385R and cognitive dysfunction in Korean patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated whether the G2385R polymorphism in LRRK2, a risk allele for the development of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in East Asians, is associated…Reduced thalamo-cortical functional connectivity in asymptomatic LRRK2 mutation carriers
Objective: To characterize MRI functional patterns during resting state in asymptomatic LRRK2 mutation carriers. Background: Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are…Inflammatory profile discriminates clinical subtypes in LRRK2-associated PD
Objective: To evaluate whether inflammatory processes in PD patients with mutations in the LRRK2 gene (PD-LRRK2) are associated with modification of clinical features and disease…The role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory use in symptomatic and asymptomatic LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers
Objective: The purpose of the current study is to determine if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) among LRRK2 G2019S…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…
