Genetic Mutation in Familial Parkinson’s Traced to Its Target
Researchers have discovered the cellular role and target of the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease: LRRK2 kinase mutations. The study, “Phosphoproteomics reveals that Parkinson’s disease kinase LRRK2 regulates a subset of Rab GTPases,” was published in eLife. Parkinson’s disease is not generally considered a genetic…
