Objective: To analyzed the frequency of the LRRK2 p.G2019S mutation (c.6055G>A transition) in a sample of Colombian patients. Methods: In the present study we have analyzed the frequency of the LRRK2 p.G2019S mutation in 154 patients with familial or sporadic Parkinson Disease, including early and late onset patients, and 162 normal controls. Results: Our results show occurrence of this mutation in two cases (2/154, 1.3%) with classical Parkinson´s signs, and one completely asymptomatic control (1/162, 0.6%). Conclusion: The p.G2019S mutation is not an important causal factor of Parkinson Disease in Colombia having similar frequencies to those reported in other Latin American populations. 2015 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28342288005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28342288005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28342288005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28342288005/28342288005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28342288005/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.46 |
