Definitions
- Present invention relates to a novel polynucleotide involved in heritable Parkinson's disease (PD), a novel polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide, and a method for diagnosing heritable Parkinson's disease (PD).
- PD heritable Parkinson's disease
- Parkinsonism (MIM168600) is a clinical syndrome characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscle rigidity, and postural instability (Gelb et al. 1999). The most common cause of parkinsonism is Parkinson's disease (PD). Second to Alzheimer's disease, PD is the most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting >1% of the population over 55 years of age (de Rijk et al. 1995). Neuropathological findings in PD are loss of pigmented neurons in the brainstem, substantia nigra and locus ceruleus, with intracellular Lewy body inclusions found within surviving neurons (Formo 1996).
- ⁇ -synuclein antibodies were found to robustly stain Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites in the substantia nigra in familial and sporadic PD (Spillantini et al. 1997) and common genetic variability in the ⁇ -synuclein promoter has been implicated in sporadic PD (Pals et al. 2004).
- LRRK2 leucine-rich repeat kinase 2
- MIM 607060 PARK8 locus
- the object of the invention is to isolate a gene or polynucleotide proving inheritable parkinsonism, and to use presence of this gene to diagnose a patient before he/her gets sick.
- a further object is to use this gene or polynucleotide to transfect a microorganism or experimental animal in order to develop a new medicine for treating or preventing the onset of parkinsonism.
- Inheritable parkinsonism may be proved by the method according to the characterizing part of claim 5 , and the other objects are met by a polynucleotide according to the characterizing part of claim 1 , a recombinant vector according to claim 3 , a DNA probe and a DNA primer according to claims 4 and 6 respectively, and a peptide according to claim 9 .
- the inventors have isolated a novel LRRK2 mutation, and this mutation may cause development of dominantly inherited PD. By screening healthy persons, one can state whether the healthy persons have the mutation, and thus most likely will develop the illness.
- the probe represents a safe and accurate biomarker which will be powerful as it nominates subjects, future patients, for neuroprotective therapy. At the present time this is a research enterprise, but not for long. These subjects provide the first (and only) ‘uniform substrate/background’ for studies on drug efficacy/safety. From a research perspective they will also facilitate models of disease ( C. elegans, Drosophila , mice) and epidemiological research on the variable expressivity and age-associated penetrance. As the sequence of the mutated gene is known, microorganisms and further experimental animals may be transfected, in order to investigate for a new medicine to treat or prevent the onset of the illness.
- the genetic information provides subjects with the cause of their disease, an explanation for which, if handled correctly, can be of great psychological benefit (fulfilling the ‘need to know’ why). This information also prioritizes the resources of the research community, grant funding agencies and the pharmaceutical industry on developing neuroprotective therapies to halt G2019S disease progression.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic drawing of LRRK2 with predicted protein domains.
- the LRRK2 protein sequence in the region of the G2019S mutation is aligned for orthologs from human, rat, mouse, and frog (all SEQ ID NO:24), as well as puffer fish (SEQ ID NO:25).
- FIG. 2 shows pedigrees of families with LRRK2 G2019S.
- FIG. 3 shows chromosome 12q12 STR markers on the disease haplotype (PARK 8).
- FIG. 4 shows probability of becoming affected by parkinsonism, in LRRK2 G2019S carriers, as a function of age.
- FIG. 5 shows aligned amino acid sequences of the activation loop of different human kinases: LRRK2 (SEQ ID NO:17), LRRK1 (SEQ ID NO:18), MATK (SEQ ID NO:19), PDGFRA (SEQ ID NO:20), MAP3K10 (SEQ ID NO:21), DAPK1 (SEQ ID NO:22), and BRAF (SEQ ID NO:23).
- the inventors identified seven unrelated persons all having the new mutation, from 248 multiplex kindreds with dominantly inherited PD, and six further unrelated persons from three population-based series of persons with dominantly inherited PD. These 13 persons and their families made basis for the inventors' further work. Segregation and linkage analysis provides evidence for pathogenicity and an estimate of age-associated penetrance; haplotype analysis demonstrates the mutation originates from a common and ancient founder.
- Clinical diagnosis of PD required the presence of at least two of three cardinal signs (resting tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity), improvement from adequate dopaminergic therapy and the absence of atypical features or other causes of parkinsonism.
- PCRs were carried out for each primer set with 20-50 ng of template DNA in a total volume of 25 ⁇ l using a final reaction concentration of 200 ⁇ M dNTP, 1 ⁇ PCR-Buffer (Qiagen), 1 ⁇ Q-Solution (Qiagen), and 0.8 ⁇ M of each primer.
- One unit of Taq polymerase (Qiagen) was added to each reaction. Amplification was performed using a 57-52C.°-touchdown protocol over 38 cycles.
- the primers used for PCR amplification of LRRK2 exons and for sequencing are available on request.
- the nucleotide sequences of all PCR products were determined by direct sequencing. Each PCR product was cleaned by using a Millipore PCR purification plate. Three microliters of purified PCR product was used per sequencing reaction with 1 ⁇ A of either the forward or reverse PCR primer and 1 ⁇ A of BigDye reaction mix (Applied Biosystems). Electrophoresis was performed under standard conditions on an ABI 3730 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems). All sequences were obtained with both forward and reverse primers. Sequences were analyzed with SeqScape software version 2.1.1 (Applied Biosystems) and compared with published sequence of LRRK2 (GenBank accession no. AY792511).
- nucleotide number 6055 of the LRRK2 gene counted from the 5′end of the polynucleotide, has changed from G (guanine) to A (adenine).
- G2019S denotes a polynucleotide where amino acid number 2019 is changed from G (Glycine) to S (Serine).
- STR markers were genotyped in mutation carriers and all available family members, in all 13 families, for linkage analyses and to determine whether there was a particular haplotype associated with the LRRK2 mutation.
- STR markers were chosen to span the PARK8 region including D12S87, D12S1648, D12S2080, D12S2194, D12S1048, D12S1301 and D12S1701.
- LRRK2 is located between D12S2194 and D12S1048.
- We also developed seven novel STR markers in this region shown in table 1 below) by searching for repeat polymorphisms using RepeatMasker of in silico BAC sequence (UCSC Human Genome Browser Web site). The labeling of these novel markers reflects their physical position relative to the start codon of LRRK2.
- PCR reactions were carried out on 10-20 ng of DNA in a total volume of 15 ⁇ A with final reaction concentrations of 150 ⁇ M dNTP, 1 ⁇ PCR-Buffer (Qiagen), 1 ⁇ Q-Solution (Qiagen) and 0.6 ⁇ M of each primer, with 1 unit of Taq Polymerase (Qiagen). Amplification was performed using a 57-52° C.-touchdown protocol over 38 cycles. The PCR product for each marker was diluted by a factor of 10 to 100 with water. One microliter was then added to 10 ⁇ l of Hi-Di Formamide and Rox size standard. All samples were run on an ABI 3100 genetic analyzer, and results were analyzed using Genescan 3.7 and Genotyper 3.7 software (Applied Biosystems). Since population allele frequencies were not available from the CEPH database, these have been estimated by genotyping 95 unrelated Caucasian subjects, a population based series from the United States (shown in table 2 below).
- Multipoint nonparametric LOD scores for all families were calculated using GENEHUNTER-PLUS (Kong and Cox 1997).
- the frequency of the deleterious allele was set at 0.0001, and empirically determined allele frequencies were employed.
- the map positions for each marker were taken from Rutgers combined linkage-physical map version 1.0 (MAP-O-MAT web site).
- the three loci D12S2080, D12S2194 and D12S1301 are very tightly linked, with no observed recombinants in the database or within our genotyped families, and thus inter-marker distances were assigned as 0.01 cM.
- Chromosome 12 haplotypes in the PARK8 region were established for those families in which chromosome phase for mutation-carrying individuals could be deduced, thereby determining which alleles co-segregated with the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in each family. For those affected individuals in whom the associated allele for a marker could not be determined, both alleles are given.
- the age-dependent penetrance was estimated as the probability of a gene carrier becoming affected, at a given age, within the 13 families. The number of affected mutation carriers, for each decade, was divided by the total number of affected individuals, plus the number of unaffected carriers within that range. For some affected family members no DNA was available and only historical data on the disease course was obtained. These individuals were excluded from penetrance calculations.
- Age at onset of clinical symptoms was quite variable, even within the same family.
- Family 1120 a family from the United States, had both the earliest and latest age at onset for a patient.
- the youngest affected subject had an onset at 39 years, whereas the oldest carrier presented with initial symptoms at 78 years.
- most LRRK2 G2019S carriers have late-onset disease (>50 years at onset).
- the penetrance of the mutation was found to be highly age-dependent, increasing from 17% at the age of 50 to 85% at the age of 70 ( FIG. 4 ).
- Haplotypes can be established with certainty in nine of the families, and all mutation carriers in these families share alleles for four STR markers and 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LRRK2 gene locus. These markers are LRRK2 D12S2516, D12S2518, D12S2519, D12S2520 and SNPs rs7966550, rs1427263, rs11176013, rs11564148.
- D12S2516 is located in intron 29 and D12S2518 is located in intron 44 of the LRRK2 gene, whereas the two other shared markers are positioned 3′ of the gene.
- the size of the shared haplotype is between 145 kb and 154 kb.
- the mean age at onset of affected LRRK2 G2019S carriers was 56.8 years, and comparable to that of patients in other families linked to PARK8 (Funayama et al. 2002; Paisan-Ruiz et al. 2004; Zimprich et al. 2004a).
- Disease penetrance is age-dependent, and increases in a linear fashion from 17% at the age of 50 to 85% at the age of 70.
- Age is the single most consistent risk factor for development of PD and other neurodegenerative disorders (Lang and Lozano 1998), and an important risk factor in LRRK2 associated parkinsonism.
- age at onset was variable in this study, both within and between different families, suggesting other susceptibility factors, environmental or genetic, may influence the phenotype.
- LRRK2 mutations account for a substantial proportion of familial late-onset parkinsonism
- cross-sectional twin studies have not supported a genetic etiology for late-onset PD (Tanner et al. 1999; Wirdefeldt et al. 2004).
- the age-associated penetrance of LRRK2 mutations provides some explanation as even large and well designed twin studies are underpowered to detect incompletely penetrant mutations (Simon et al. 2002).
- LRRK2 mutations were also found in apparently sporadic PD patients; three of the patients in this study did not have any known affected first- or second-degree relatives.
- LRRK2 is a member of the recently defined ROCO protein family (Bosgraaf and Van Haastert 2003). In human, mouse and rat, members of the ROCO protein family have five conserved domains ( FIG. 1 ).
- the kinase domain belongs to the MAPKKK subfamily of kinases. The active sites of all kinases are located in a cleft between an N-terminal and a C-terminal lobe, typically covered by an ‘activation loop’, in an inactive conformation. The activation loop must undergo crucial structural changes to allow access to peptide substrates and to orientate key catalytic amino acids (Huse and Kuriyan 2002).
- the activation loop starts and ends with the conserved residues asp-phe-gly (DFG) and ala-pro-glu (APE), respectively (Dibb et al. 2004).
- DDG conserved residues asp-phe-gly
- APE ala-pro-glu
- LRRK2 G2019S substitution changes a highly conserved amino acid at the start of this loop ( FIG. 5 ).
- an 12020T mutation is located in an adjacent codon (Zimprich et al. 2004a).
- oncogenic mutations in residues within the activation loop of the kinase domain have an activating effect (Davies et al. 2002), thus we postulate LRRK2 G2019S and 12020T mutations may have an effect on its kinase activity.
- the age of an allele may be estimated from the genetic variation among different copies (intra-allelic variation), or from its frequency (Slatkin and Rannala 2000).
- the local recombination rate on chromosome 12q12 is unknown, as is the frequency of the G2019S mutation in the general population.
- centromeres there is generally a dearth in recombination; indeed no crossovers have been observed between LRRK2 flanking markers D12S2194 and D12S1048 in our studies, or within CEPH families (MAP-O-MAT web site).
- the physical size of the shared haplotype is also small, between 145 kb and 154 kb, and the allele is widespread in families from several European populations.
- the mutation is likely to be ancient and may be relatively common in specific populations.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 12/433,385, filed Apr. 30, 2009, which is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 10/568,414, filed Jul. 12, 2006, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,544,786, which is a National Stage application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application No. PCT/NO2005/00465, having an International Filing Date of Dec. 19, 2005, which claims priority from Norwegian Application No. 20052535, filed May 27, 2005, and Norwegian Application No. 20045612, filed on Dec. 23, 2004.
- Present invention relates to a novel polynucleotide involved in heritable Parkinson's disease (PD), a novel polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide, and a method for diagnosing heritable Parkinson's disease (PD).
- Parkinsonism (MIM168600) is a clinical syndrome characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscle rigidity, and postural instability (Gelb et al. 1999). The most common cause of parkinsonism is Parkinson's disease (PD). Second to Alzheimer's disease, PD is the most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting >1% of the population over 55 years of age (de Rijk et al. 1995). Neuropathological findings in PD are loss of pigmented neurons in the brainstem, substantia nigra and locus ceruleus, with intracellular Lewy body inclusions found within surviving neurons (Formo 1996).
- Although PD is considered a sporadic disease, various hereditary forms of parkinsonism have been recognized (Vila and Przedborski 2004). A major breakthrough in recent years has been the mapping and cloning of a number of genes causing monogenic forms of parkinsonism. Genomic multiplication and missense mutations in the α-synuclein gene were initially identified in a small number of families with autosomal dominant parkinsonism (PARK1/4 [MIM 168601]) (Polymeropoulos et al. 1997; Kruger et al. 1998; Singleton et al. 2003; Chartier-Harlin et al. 2004; Farrer et al. 2004; Zarranz et al. 2004). Subsequently, α-synuclein antibodies were found to robustly stain Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites in the substantia nigra in familial and sporadic PD (Spillantini et al. 1997) and common genetic variability in the α-synuclein promoter has been implicated in sporadic PD (Pals et al. 2004).
- Autosomal recessive mutations in three genes, parkin, DJ-1 and PINK1 have been linked with early-onset parkinsonism (<45 years at onset) (PARK2, PARK6 & PARK7 [MIM 602533, 602544 & 608309]) (Kitada et al. 1998; Bonifati et al. 2003; Valente et al. 2004). A large number of pathogenic mutations and rearrangements have been identified in the parkin gene reviewed by (Mata et al. 2004), but mutations in DJ-1 and PINK-1 arc rare (unpublished data).
- Very recently, five pathogenic mutations were identified in a gene, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) in six families with autosomal-dominant parkinsonism, linked to the PARK8 locus [MIM 607060]) (Zimprich et al. 2004a). Paisan-Ruiz and colleagues independently confirmed these findings of two pathogenic mutations in a British and Basque families (Paisan-Ruiz et al. x2004).
- The object of the invention is to isolate a gene or polynucleotide proving inheritable parkinsonism, and to use presence of this gene to diagnose a patient before he/her gets sick. A further object is to use this gene or polynucleotide to transfect a microorganism or experimental animal in order to develop a new medicine for treating or preventing the onset of parkinsonism.
- Inheritable parkinsonism may be proved by the method according to the characterizing part of claim 5, and the other objects are met by a polynucleotide according to the characterizing part of
claim 1, a recombinant vector according to claim 3, a DNA probe and a DNA primer according to claims 4 and 6 respectively, and a peptide according to claim 9. - The inventors have isolated a novel LRRK2 mutation, and this mutation may cause development of dominantly inherited PD. By screening healthy persons, one can state whether the healthy persons have the mutation, and thus most likely will develop the illness.
- Using a probe to test whether a patient has the mutation allows a precise, differential diagnosis of this type of Parkinson's disease. The probe represents a safe and accurate biomarker which will be powerful as it nominates subjects, future patients, for neuroprotective therapy. At the present time this is a research enterprise, but not for long. These subjects provide the first (and only) ‘uniform substrate/background’ for studies on drug efficacy/safety. From a research perspective they will also facilitate models of disease (C. elegans, Drosophila, mice) and epidemiological research on the variable expressivity and age-associated penetrance. As the sequence of the mutated gene is known, microorganisms and further experimental animals may be transfected, in order to investigate for a new medicine to treat or prevent the onset of the illness.
- The genetic information provides subjects with the cause of their disease, an explanation for which, if handled correctly, can be of great psychological benefit (fulfilling the ‘need to know’ why). This information also prioritizes the resources of the research community, grant funding agencies and the pharmaceutical industry on developing neuroprotective therapies to halt G2019S disease progression.
- In the following the invention will be described by reference to a study of PD patients and their families. Parts of the study are shown in figures, wherein
-
FIG. 1 shows a schematic drawing of LRRK2 with predicted protein domains. The LRRK2 protein sequence in the region of the G2019S mutation is aligned for orthologs from human, rat, mouse, and frog (all SEQ ID NO:24), as well as puffer fish (SEQ ID NO:25). -
FIG. 2 shows pedigrees of families with LRRK2 G2019S. -
FIG. 3 shows chromosome 12q12 STR markers on the disease haplotype (PARK 8). -
FIG. 4 shows probability of becoming affected by parkinsonism, in LRRK2 G2019S carriers, as a function of age. -
FIG. 5 shows aligned amino acid sequences of the activation loop of different human kinases: LRRK2 (SEQ ID NO:17), LRRK1 (SEQ ID NO:18), MATK (SEQ ID NO:19), PDGFRA (SEQ ID NO:20), MAP3K10 (SEQ ID NO:21), DAPK1 (SEQ ID NO:22), and BRAF (SEQ ID NO:23). - The inventors identified seven unrelated persons all having the new mutation, from 248 multiplex kindreds with dominantly inherited PD, and six further unrelated persons from three population-based series of persons with dominantly inherited PD. These 13 persons and their families made basis for the inventors' further work. Segregation and linkage analysis provides evidence for pathogenicity and an estimate of age-associated penetrance; haplotype analysis demonstrates the mutation originates from a common and ancient founder.
- The patients and controls were examined by neurologists specialized in movement disorders. A full history, including family history and neurological examination, was completed on each patient. Clinical diagnosis of PD required the presence of at least two of three cardinal signs (resting tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity), improvement from adequate dopaminergic therapy and the absence of atypical features or other causes of parkinsonism.
- Blood samples were taken and genomic DNA was extracted using standard techniques. Six families (families 194, 281, 3081, 3082, 3083 and 3211) were known to have a positive LOD-score for STR (Short Tandem Repeat) markers in the PARK8 locus (Zimprich et al. 2004b). Amplification of all 51 exons of the LRRK2 gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in one patient having PD, from each of these six families. All PCRs were carried out for each primer set with 20-50 ng of template DNA in a total volume of 25 μl using a final reaction concentration of 200 μM dNTP, 1×PCR-Buffer (Qiagen), 1× Q-Solution (Qiagen), and 0.8 μM of each primer. One unit of Taq polymerase (Qiagen) was added to each reaction. Amplification was performed using a 57-52C.°-touchdown protocol over 38 cycles. The primers used for PCR amplification of LRRK2 exons and for sequencing are available on request.
- The nucleotide sequences of all PCR products were determined by direct sequencing. Each PCR product was cleaned by using a Millipore PCR purification plate. Three microliters of purified PCR product was used per sequencing reaction with 1 μA of either the forward or reverse PCR primer and 1 μA of BigDye reaction mix (Applied Biosystems). Electrophoresis was performed under standard conditions on an ABI 3730 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems). All sequences were obtained with both forward and reverse primers. Sequences were analyzed with SeqScape software version 2.1.1 (Applied Biosystems) and compared with published sequence of LRRK2 (GenBank accession no. AY792511).
- After identification of a heterozygous G2019S (G6055A) mutation in the proband of family 3215 (referred to as family 3211 in Zimprich et al, 2004b), we designed a probe employing TaqMan chemistry on an ABI7900 (Applied Biosystems) to screen for this mutation. First we examined 248 PD patients from families with a known family history, consistent with autosomal dominant transmission of a suspected causative gene. Then 377 Norwegian, 271 Irish and 100 Polish PD patients (constituting the three population series) were checked using this assay; and 2260 samples of healthy persons from similar populations were also included (1200 US American, 550 Norwegian, 330 Irish and 180 Polish subjects), the latter to be used as control samples. Mutations were confirmed by direct sequencing of PCR products from LRRK2 exon 41. Finally, all participating family members of LRRK2 G2019 mutation carriers (affected and unaffected) were screened for the mutation.
- By 6055 G>A or G6055A it is meant that nucleotide number 6055 of the LRRK2 gene, counted from the 5′end of the polynucleotide, has changed from G (guanine) to A (adenine). This change also causes a change in the polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide, and G2019S denotes a polynucleotide where amino acid number 2019 is changed from G (Glycine) to S (Serine). These shortenings are well known to persons skilled of the art.
- Fourteen STR markers were genotyped in mutation carriers and all available family members, in all 13 families, for linkage analyses and to determine whether there was a particular haplotype associated with the LRRK2 mutation. STR markers were chosen to span the PARK8 region including D12S87, D12S1648, D12S2080, D12S2194, D12S1048, D12S1301 and D12S1701. LRRK2 is located between D12S2194 and D12S1048. We also developed seven novel STR markers in this region (shown in table 1 below) by searching for repeat polymorphisms using RepeatMasker of in silico BAC sequence (UCSC Human Genome Browser Web site). The labeling of these novel markers reflects their physical position relative to the start codon of LRRK2.

One primer of each pair was labeled with a fluorescent tag. PCR reactions were carried out on 10-20 ng of DNA in a total volume of 15 μA with final reaction concentrations of 150 μM dNTP, 1×PCR-Buffer (Qiagen), 1× Q-Solution (Qiagen) and 0.6 μM of each primer, with 1 unit of Taq Polymerase (Qiagen). Amplification was performed using a 57-52° C.-touchdown protocol over 38 cycles. The PCR product for each marker was diluted by a factor of 10 to 100 with water. One microliter was then added to 10 μl of Hi-Di Formamide and Rox size standard. All samples were run on an ABI 3100 genetic analyzer, and results were analyzed using Genescan 3.7 and Genotyper 3.7 software (Applied Biosystems). Since population allele frequencies were not available from the CEPH database, these have been estimated by genotyping 95 unrelated Caucasian subjects, a population based series from the United States (shown in table 2 below). -

The frequency of the deleterious allele was set at 0.0001, and empirically determined allele frequencies were employed. The map positions for each marker were taken from Rutgers combined linkage-physical map version 1.0 (MAP-O-MAT web site). The three loci D12S2080, D12S2194 and D12S1301 are very tightly linked, with no observed recombinants in the database or within our genotyped families, and thus inter-marker distances were assigned as 0.01 cM.
- Chromosome 12 haplotypes in the PARK8 region were established for those families in which chromosome phase for mutation-carrying individuals could be deduced, thereby determining which alleles co-segregated with the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in each family. For those affected individuals in whom the associated allele for a marker could not be determined, both alleles are given.
- The age-dependent penetrance was estimated as the probability of a gene carrier becoming affected, at a given age, within the 13 families. The number of affected mutation carriers, for each decade, was divided by the total number of affected individuals, plus the number of unaffected carriers within that range. For some affected family members no DNA was available and only historical data on the disease course was obtained. These individuals were excluded from penetrance calculations.
- As mentioned previously, we identified 13 affected probands (i.e. 13 patients) who carry a heterozygous G6055A mutation in exon 41 of the LRRK2 gene. The mutation leads to a G2019S amino acid substitution of a highly conserved residue within the predicted activation loop of the MAPKKK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase) domain (
FIG. 1 ). After genotyping a total of 42 additional family members, 22 additional subjects were found to carry the mutation, seven with a diagnosis of PD (shown in table 3 below). One affected member of family P-089 did not carry the mutation and, for the purposes of this study, was considered a phenocopy and excluded from further analyses. Seven families originated from Norway, three were from the United States, two from Ireland, and one was from Poland. One family from the United States descended from Russian/Rumania, and another from Italy. For only one family (family 111), the ethnic origin was unknown. The LRRK2 G2019S mutation segregates with disease in all kindreds, consistent with autosomal dominant transmission. To ensure patient confidentiality, simplified versions of the family pedigrees are presented inFIG. 2 . There was no evidence of the mutation in the 2260 control samples. - Age at onset of clinical symptoms was quite variable, even within the same family.
Family 1120, a family from the United States, had both the earliest and latest age at onset for a patient. The youngest affected subject had an onset at 39 years, whereas the oldest carrier presented with initial symptoms at 78 years. Where recorded, most LRRK2 G2019S carriers have late-onset disease (>50 years at onset). The mean age at onset of affected mutation carriers was 56.8 years (range 39-78 years, n=19). Unaffected carriers have a mean age of 53.9 years (range 26-74 years, n=14). The penetrance of the mutation was found to be highly age-dependent, increasing from 17% at the age of 50 to 85% at the age of 70 (FIG. 4 ). -

Evidence for linkage (the statistical burden of proof that this mutation causes disease) to the PARK8 locus was found across families, with a combined maximum multipoint LOD score of 2.41 [for all 14 markers], corresponding to a P value of 4.3.×10−4 As only a defined chromosomal region was investigated, rather than a genome-wide search, this LOD score exceeds that required for significance, P=0.01 (Lander and Kruglyak 1995). A positive LOD score was found in all families where more then one affected subject was genotyped (table 3). - All affected members from the different families, except the individual in family P-089 who did not carry the mutation, appear to share a common haplotype on chromosome 12 the LRRK2 gene locus (
FIG. 3 ). Haplotypes can be established with certainty in nine of the families, and all mutation carriers in these families share alleles for four STR markers and 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LRRK2 gene locus. These markers are LRRK2 D12S2516, D12S2518, D12S2519, D12S2520 and SNPs rs7966550, rs1427263, rs11176013, rs11564148. For the remaining families, the number of available samples from relatives was not sufficient to determine phase. However, the genotypes in these cases are consistent with a common LRRK2 G2019S allele. D12S2516 is located in intron 29 and D12S2518 is located in intron 44 of the LRRK2 gene, whereas the two other shared markers are positioned 3′ of the gene. Using the physical position of the shared and non-shared markers, the size of the shared haplotype is between 145 kb and 154 kb. - We have identified a novel LRRK2 mutation, G2019S, which co-segregates with autosomal dominant parkinsonism in 13 kindreds originating from several European populations. Positive LOD scores were obtained in multiplex families, and combined they provide significant support for the PARK8 locus. LRRK2 G2019S mutation was absent in a large number of control subjects, and of similar ethnicity. The number of families linked to LRRK2 in this and previous studies now explains the majority of genetically defined autosomal dominant parkinsonism.
- The mean age at onset of affected LRRK2 G2019S carriers was 56.8 years, and comparable to that of patients in other families linked to PARK8 (Funayama et al. 2002; Paisan-Ruiz et al. 2004; Zimprich et al. 2004a). The majority of patients present with late-onset disease, indistinguishable from typical idiopathic PD. Disease penetrance is age-dependent, and increases in a linear fashion from 17% at the age of 50 to 85% at the age of 70. Age is the single most consistent risk factor for development of PD and other neurodegenerative disorders (Lang and Lozano 1998), and an important risk factor in LRRK2 associated parkinsonism. Interestingly, age at onset was variable in this study, both within and between different families, suggesting other susceptibility factors, environmental or genetic, may influence the phenotype.
- Although our findings clearly indicate that LRRK2 mutations account for a substantial proportion of familial late-onset parkinsonism, historically, cross-sectional twin studies have not supported a genetic etiology for late-onset PD (Tanner et al. 1999; Wirdefeldt et al. 2004). The age-associated penetrance of LRRK2 mutations provides some explanation as even large and well designed twin studies are underpowered to detect incompletely penetrant mutations (Simon et al. 2002). LRRK2 mutations were also found in apparently sporadic PD patients; three of the patients in this study did not have any known affected first- or second-degree relatives. However, a caveat of age-dependent penetrance is that carriers may die of other diseases, before manifesting or being diagnosed with PD. Thus, it seems difficult to separate sporadic and familial PD, or to hypothesize environmental causes to be more important in one group and genetic causes more prominent in the other. In light of these results, a family history of parkinsonism, previously considered an exclusion criterion for a diagnosis of PD, must be reconsidered (Hughes et al. 1992).
- LRRK2 is a member of the recently defined ROCO protein family (Bosgraaf and Van Haastert 2003). In human, mouse and rat, members of the ROCO protein family have five conserved domains (
FIG. 1 ). The kinase domain belongs to the MAPKKK subfamily of kinases. The active sites of all kinases are located in a cleft between an N-terminal and a C-terminal lobe, typically covered by an ‘activation loop’, in an inactive conformation. The activation loop must undergo crucial structural changes to allow access to peptide substrates and to orientate key catalytic amino acids (Huse and Kuriyan 2002). In different kinases, the activation loop starts and ends with the conserved residues asp-phe-gly (DFG) and ala-pro-glu (APE), respectively (Dibb et al. 2004). Of note, the LRRK2 G2019S substitution changes a highly conserved amino acid at the start of this loop (FIG. 5 ). In a German family we previously described, an 12020T mutation is located in an adjacent codon (Zimprich et al. 2004a). In other kinases, oncogenic mutations in residues within the activation loop of the kinase domain have an activating effect (Davies et al. 2002), thus we postulate LRRK2 G2019S and 12020T mutations may have an effect on its kinase activity. - The age of an allele may be estimated from the genetic variation among different copies (intra-allelic variation), or from its frequency (Slatkin and Rannala 2000). However, the local recombination rate on chromosome 12q12 is unknown, as is the frequency of the G2019S mutation in the general population. Nevertheless, at centromeres there is generally a dearth in recombination; indeed no crossovers have been observed between LRRK2 flanking markers D12S2194 and D12S1048 in our studies, or within CEPH families (MAP-O-MAT web site). The physical size of the shared haplotype is also small, between 145 kb and 154 kb, and the allele is widespread in families from several European populations. Hence, the mutation is likely to be ancient and may be relatively common in specific populations. These data suggest a substantial proportion of late-onset PD will have a genetic basis.
