We analyzed a LRRK2 PD (R1628P) risk variant in a group of 885 subjects comprising of AD and controls. The frequency of the R1628P allele was higher in AD compared to controls (3.5% vs. 1.6%, OR 2.3, 95 CI 1.2-4.4, p=0.018). In vitro, the mean percentage of apoptosis and cell death observed for the R1628P transfected human cell lines was higher compared to wild type 21.8 ± 1.9, vs. 17.1 ± 1.3, p | Source Title: | Neurobiology of Aging | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/110163 | ISSN: | 01974580 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2009.11.019 |
