Functional pathway phenotyping reveals increased LRRK2 activity beyond recognised genetic causes of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Pathogenic LRRK2 variants cause Parkinson’s disease (PD) through increased kinase activity, with VPS35 p.D620N and other emerging genetic factors also increasing LRRK2 signalling. Findings in idiopathic PD also suggest broader LRRK2 pathway involvement. As LRRK2-targeted...
