There is a paucity of genetic characterization in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) of Latino and Afro-Caribbean descent. Screening LRRK2 and GBA variants in 32 New Yorkers of Puerto Rican ethnicity with PD and in 119 non-Hispanic-non-Jewish European PD cases revealed that Puerto Rican participants were more likely to harbor the LRRK2-p.G2019S variant (15.6% vs. 4.2%, respectively). Additionally, whole exome sequencing of twelve Puerto Rican and Dominican PD participants was performed as an exploratory study.
拉丁裔和非裔加勒比裔帕金森病(PD)患者的基因特征研究较少。对32名患有帕金森病的波多黎各裔纽约人和119名非西班牙裔非犹太裔欧洲帕金森病患者进行LRRK2和GBA基因变异筛查后发现,波多黎各裔参与者携带LRRK2-p.G2019S变异的可能性更高(分别为15.6%和4.2%)。此外,作为一项探索性研究,对12名波多黎各裔和多米尼加裔帕金森病参与者进行了全外显子组测序。
