Parkinson's disease-related LRRK2 G2019S mutation results from independent mutational events in humans

Mutations in the leucine-rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene have been identified in families with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD) and in sporadic cases; the G2019S mutation is the single most frequent. Intriguingly, the frequency of this mutation in PD patients varies greatly among e...

Intriguingly, the frequency of this mutation in PD patients varies greatly among ethnic groups and geographic origins: it is present at
