  Loss or inactivation of a single gene copy of LRRK1 or LRRK2 — LRRK mutations being a common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease — neither increases the risk nor protects against the disease, a new study showed.

  These findings also support the use of kinase inhibitors targeting mutant LRRK2 as a therapeutic option for the disease. Click here to learn more.
