Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene have been shown to cause autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). We report here the frequency of a common heterozygous mutation, 2877510G > A, which produces a glycine-to-serine amino acid substitution at codon 2019 in idiopathic Taiwanese PD. The extreme rarity of the G2019S mutation in our population suggests the occurrence of this mutation resulted from a common European founder. (c) 2006 Movement Disorder Society.
