The LRRK2 Gly2385Arg variant is associated with Parkinson’s disease: genetic and functional evidence

Abstract: Evidence of LRRK2 haplotypes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) risk was recently found in the Chinese population from Singapore, and a common LRRK2 missense variant, Gly2385Arg, was independently detected as a putative risk factor for PD in the Chinese population from Taiwan. To test the association between the Gly2385Arg variant in a large case-control sample of Chinese ethnicity from Singapore, and to perform functional studies of the wild type and Gly2385Arg LRRK2 protein in human cell lines. In a ca… Show more

“…Our data support previous studies that mutations of LRRK2 including G2019S mutation is not a common genetic cause in Asian PD [28][29][30]. On the other hand, the G2385R polymorphism of LRRK2 was reported to increase the risk for PD in some Asian PD populations [13][14][15]. Carrier frequencies of G2385R polymorphism of LRRK2 in our data is close to previous reports in Chinese or Japanese which were 5.7-11.6% in PD and 0-4.8% in controls.…”

“…No mutations were found in analyzed exons of UCHL1, DJ-1, and LRRK2. Recently, G2385R polymorphism of LRRK2 was found to increase the risk of PD in Asian population [13][14][15]. In our cohort, 12.5% of Korean EOPD had G2385R polymorphism of LRRK2, whereas 5% of the age-and sex-matched controls had the same variant (p=0.09, OR=2.71, 95%CI=0.87-8.48).…”

“…This work led to our initial identification of the association of Gly2385Arg with PD, a finding that has been rapidly and consistently replicated in Chinese populations from Singapore [5], Taiwan [6,7], mainland China [8,9], and in the Japanese population [10].…”

“…Two variants in LRRK2 that are predominantly found in Asian populations, G2385R [93][94][95][96][97] and R1628P [98][99][100][101], increase the lifetime risk of PD about 2-fold [102]. Molecular modeling predicts that the G2385 residue is located on the outer surface of the WD40 domain towards the C-terminus of LRRK2 [31].…”
