The study of dopamine metabolism with LRRK2 variants in Parkinson’s disease
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease in which symptoms typically appear when a loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons causes dopamine levels to fall significantly. Leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene mutations are the most common genetic cause of PD. Dopamine dec...
