The Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) is implicated in autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PKD). An inhibitor for the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is in pre-clinical development for potential use in treating Parkinson's disease. Patients with PKD have cognitive impairments which develop alongside the typical motor symptoms but a full characterisation of the neurocognitive phenotype of PKD patients with LRRK2 mutation is currently lacking. This observational study conducted on a single visit will assess the phenotypic neurocognitive abnormalities of PKD patients with the LRRK2 mutation with the aim of identifying potential PD endpoints related to the LRRK2 mutation for future Phase I or II clinical trials of LRRK2 inhibitors.

Measure: Motor / Other Time: Day 1The clinical and pathological similarities between LRRK2 related parkinsonism and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) indicate that monogenetic LRRK2 parkinsonism may be a paradigm for the development of Lewy bodies disease, and a careful look at discrepancies between these two conditions may provide insight into the pathogenesis of PD. The early involvement of the enteric nervous system (ENS) during PD led to theories that an as yet unidentified external agent entering the ENS causes PD . If lesions of the ENS are found in patients who present with a genetic form of parkinsonism would go against this notion, and thus provide insight to the pathophysiology of the disease.

This is a longitudinal study in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) carriers of a genetic mutation - substitution of gly with ser in position 2019 (G2019S) in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between genetic mutations in the known genes and their influence on disease manifestation over few years of follow up

A Longitudinal Study in Parkinson's Disease (PD) Patients This is a longitudinal study in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) carriers of a genetic mutation - substitution of gly with ser in position 2019 (G2019S) in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene. --- G2019S ---
The primary objective of this protocol is to access the utility of 18F-DTBZ PET imaging as an in vivo biomarker to monitor neurodegeneration of both PD mouse models and PD patients. Secondary, the investigators will analyze progression rate of genetic-proving PARK8 and PARK6 patients who have homogeneous phenotype and genotype by 18F-DTBZ PET imaging.
Patients didn't have other mutations that may contribute to the parkinsonism, such as LRRK2 G2019S, LRRK2 R1628P, PARK2, PARK6, and SCA2. --- G2019S ---
Description: The annual decline rate of striatal 18F-DTBZ SUVRs (specific uptake value ratios) in PD patients carrying LRRK2 G2385R mutation, PARK6 patients, and patients with idiopathic PD, respectively.
Measure: To calculate the decline rate of striatal 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ binding and to evaluate whether the degenerative rate differs between idiopathic PD patients and genetic-proving PARK6/PARK8 patients Time: 2 yearsDescription: To analyze the correlation between 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ annual decline rate and the progression rate of clinical motor scores/non-motor scores/ neuropsychiatric tests in each group. Furthermore, to access the utility of 18F-DTBZ PET imaging as an in vivo biomarker to monitor neurodegeneration in PD patients.

Secondary Objectives: Part 1: - To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of oral dosing of GZ/SAR4027671 in plasma when administered in early-stage Parkinson's disease patients carrying a GBA mutation. - To assess the exposure of GZ/SAR402671 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when administered in early-stage Parkinson's disease patients carrying a GBA mutation.

The goals of this study are 1. To compare the functional effects of the LRRK2 G2385R variant among carriers with and without Parkinson's disease (PD) and non-carriers with and without PD 2. To investigate the relationship between functional effects of the LRRK2 G2385R variant and PD associated phenotype 3. To investigate the biomarkers associated with PD conversion in the LRRK2 G2385R variant carriers 4. To compare the immune-related differences between PD patients/unaffected individuals with and without the LRRK2 G2385R mutation, and to investigate the effects of immune dysfunction on the clinical expression of PD
While the LRRK2 G2019S mutation is the most common mutation present in Caucasians and certain ethic groups, the G2385R variant has been identified as a risk factor for sporadic PD in the Asian population (Chinese Han, Japanese and Korean). --- G2019S ---
In fact, in these populations, the occurrence of this mutation is thought to be higher than (up to 4% of PD patients) the occurrence of the G2019S mutation in the Caucasian population. --- G2019S ---
In contrast to G2019S, this variant has not been fully characterized. --- G2019S ---
