A More Homogeneous Phenotype in Parkinson's Disease Related to R1441G Mutation in the LRRK2 Gene

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a great clinical heterogeneity. Nevertheless, the biological drivers of this heterogeneity have not been completely elucidated and are likely to be complex, arising from interactions between genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Despite this heterogeneity, the clinical patterns of monogenic forms of PD have usually maintained a good clinical correlation with each mutation once a sufficient number of patients have been studied. Mutations in LRRK2 are the mo… Show more

“…Remarkably, LRRK2 p.G2019S carriers with a PIGD phenotype have a lower risk of dementia than observed in non-carriers with this phenotype [51]. Overall, LRRK2-PD have a lower risk of dementia [48,[52][53][54], manifests less olfactory impairment [49,55], and RBD [56,57] than noncarriers with PD.…”

“…In specific populations the prevalence significantly increases, reaching 29% and 37% of familial PD cases in Ashkenazi Jewish and North Africans, respectively [ 144 ]. Some pathogenic mutations are further specific to selected populations, such as p.R1441G (OMIM*609007.0003) which is responsible for nearly 46% of familial Basque ascent PD cases, due to a founder effect [ 144 , 145 ]. LRRK2 mutations display variable penetrance, depending on age, ancestral genetic background, and environment [ 144 ].…”

“…Clinically, LRRK2-related PD strongly resembles idiopathic PD [ 144 ], despite some reports suggesting a slower motor progression in p.G2019S mutation carriers [ 143 , 145 , 150 ] and an overall, less severe burden of non-motor symptoms compared to PD noncarriers [ 144 , 151 ].…”

“…R1441G is most prevalent in the Basque region of Spain (16.4–46% of familial PD cases and 1.7–4% of sporadic PD cases) [ 17 , 21 , 50 ]. Although most PD patients with LRRK2 mutations are heterozygous missense mutations with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, there is a large population of patients carrying homozygous (HOM) mutations in LRRK2 R1441G and G2019S worldwide [ 2 , 25 , 26 , 58 ]. Patients with mutations in the LRRK2 gene show the phenotypic features of sporadic PD, including not only motor symptoms but also nonmotor symptoms such as depression, and cognitive impairment.…”
