      Background The leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene (LRRK2) harbours highly penetrant mutations that are linked to familial parkinsonism. However, the extent of its polymorphic variability in relation to risk of Parkinson's ...

C.; Zhao, Y.; Gasser, T.; Maraganore, D.; Kruger, R.; Consortium, Geopd (2012)
      Background Two recent studies identified a mutation (p.Asp620Asn) in the vacuolar protein sorting 35 gene as a cause for an autosomal dominant form of Parkinson disease. Although additional missense variants were described, ...

    • A Swedish family with de novo alpha-synuclein A53T mutation: Evidence for early cortical dysfunction 

      Puschmann, A.; Ross, O. A.; Vilarino-Guell, C.; Lincoln, S. J.; Kachergus, J. M.; Cobb, S. A.; Lindquist, S. G.; Nielsen, J. E.; Wszolek, Z. K.; Farrer, M.; Widner, H.; van Westen, D.; Hagerstrom, D.; Markopoulou, K.; Chase, B. A.; Nilsson, K.; Reimer, J.; Nilsson, C. (2009)
      A de novo alpha-symaclein A53T (p.Ala53 Th; c.209G > A) mutation has been identified in a Swedish family with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Two affected individuals had early-onset (before 31 and 40 years), ...
