Variants in LRRK2 represent the most frequent cause of clinically classical monogenic Parkinson’s disease (PD). 1 Altered LRRK2 protein function boosts neuroinflammation, impairs vesicle trafficking, and affects ciliogenesis within the striatum. 2 Because a relevant fraction of the more than 1000 identified LRRK2 variants3 is not pathogenic, determining pathogenicity for single variants is crucial, particularly because LRRK2 kinase inhibitors have entered phase 3 trials. 4 Notably, we have already established an analytic workflow to determine kinase activity and decipher the pathogenicity of single LRRK2 variants in vitro5 and in vivo. 6 In this letter, we report on a 74-year-old male patient from northern Germany with advanced typical PD (Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III: 33/108 points, Hoehn and Yahr stage 3–4) without relevant tremor. The age at onset was 67 years. The disease course was slowly progressive, he experienced a good response to dopaminergic therapy, and dementia was absent. Family history was suggestive of autosomal dominant inheritance, with the father and two brothers also diagnosed with PD. However, the father was already deceased, one brother was not available for examination, and the second brother died early after giving blood for genetic investigation. Both brothers carried a new p. F1700L (NM_198578. 4: c. 5098T> C) variant in LRRK2, initially detected by gene panel analysis in the deceased brother and further investigated by Sanger sequencing. The variant is rated as a variant of uncertain significance according to the criteria of the American College of Medical Genetics (assessed byFranklin: https://franklin. genoox. com/) and is not listed in gnomAD (https://gnomad. broadinstitute. org/). In silico prediction suggested pathogenicity based on a Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) score (https://cadd. gs. washington. edu/) of 27.3. The variant is located within the C terminus of the Ras of complex protein B scaffolding domain. 5
