Scientific Background: LRRK2 is a large protein with multiple domains including several ankyrin, leucine-rich, and WD40 repeats, a Ras-like small GTPase family domain named Roc, and a kinase domain that is closely related to the RIP kinase domain. LRRK2 gene is expressed in brain as well as in other tissues such as lung, liver and heart. LRRK2 might be central to the pathogenesis of several major neurodegenerative diseases associated with parkinsonism. Several dominantly inherited missense mutations in the gene encoding LRRK2 have been identified in several families that exhibit a broad spectrum of neuropathological features.
