This two-tier case-control study examined common variation in LRRK2 in European-ancestry populations and found two independent association signals with Parkinson's disease risk. rs10878226 (promoter region) conferred increased risk (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08-1.33, p=6.3×10⁻⁴), while rs11176013 (exon 34, K1637K) conferred reduced risk (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.83-0.95, p=4.6×10⁻⁴), with both signals successfully replicated across 6,129 total subjects.
About LRRK2
This gene is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family and encodes a protein with an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a MLK-like domain, and a WD40 domain. The protein is present largely in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Parkinson disease-8.
