T1 |
0-165 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Genetic analysis for five LRRK2 mutations in a Sardinian parkinsonian population: importance of G2019S and R1441C mutations in sporadic Parkinson's disease patients. |
T2 |
166-276 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common known cause of familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). |
T3 |
277-397 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Few studies performed to date to assess frequency of these mutations are actually only representative of specific areas. |
T4 |
398-451 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Here we study the frequency and clinical phenotype of |
T5 |
452-464 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
LRRK2 G2019S |
T6 |
464-560 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
, I2020T and R1441C/G/H mutations in 356 Sardinian patients with idiopathic PD and 208 controls. |
T7 |
561-640 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Seventeen additional subjects, relatives of PD mutated probands, were enrolled. |
T8 |
641-774 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Eight patients were mutated in heterozygosis for LRRK2 gene (2.3%): six carried the G2019S (1.7%) and two the R1441C (0.6%) mutation. |
T9 |
775-979 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Three PD patients G2019S carriers (50%) were detected in two contiguous villages comprising 3921 inhabitants while the other three (50%) were identified in the remaining population of 796,079 inhabitants. |
T10 |
980-1032 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Only one mutated proband had a family history of PD. |

REPLACED |
denotes |
LRRK2 |

Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
G2019S |
T13 |
1046-1178 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
and R1441C mutations associated with PD were not an uncommon mutation in a Sardinian population, especially in sporadic PD patients. |
T14 |
1179-1365 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The detection of the G2019S variant in ten unaffected relatives confirms a reduced penetrance of the underlying mutation and might explain its prevalence among patients with sporadic PD. |
T15 |
1366-1542 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These findings may provide new insights into the importance of studies of frequency of LRKK2 mutations in PD patients originating from small ethnically homogeneous populations. |
