Article Synopsis
- Mutations in the LRRK2 and SNCA genes, which are linked to Parkinson's disease (PD), are common in Mediterranean populations, particularly in Malta, where specific genetic variations were examined.*
-
- In a study with 178 PD cases and 402 controls from Malta, researchers found that the LRRK2 mutation c.6055G > A is present in 3.1% of PD cases, while other studied mutations were either absent or not linked to increased PD risk.*
-
- Findings suggest that while the LRRK2 c.6055G > A mutation is a contributing factor to PD among the Maltese, other mutations like QDPR, SPR,
