To evaluate the frequency of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in Italy, we tested 1,072 probands with Parkinson's disease (PD; 822 sporadic and 250 familial): 20 patients (1.9%) carried the G2019S mutation, 11 patients (1.3%) were sporadic, and 9 (4.3%) had a positive family history. Considering only probands with autosomal dominant inheritance, the G2019S frequency raises to 5.2%. All presented a typical phenotype with variable onset and shared the common ancestral haplotype. Mutation frequency raised from 1.2% in early onset PD to 4.0% in late onset PD.
为评估意大利LRRK2基因G2019S突变的频率，我们检测了1072例帕金森病（PD）先证者（822例散发性和250例家族性）：20例患者（1.9%）携带G2019S突变，其中11例（1.3%）为散发性，9例（4.3%）有家族史阳性。仅考虑常染色体显性遗传的先证者，G2019S频率升至5.2%。所有患者均表现出典型的发病可变的表型，并共享常见的祖先单倍型。突变频率从早发型PD的1.2%升至晚发型PD的4.0%。
