Using KASP technique to screen LRRK2 G2019S mutation in a large Tunisian cohort

Abstract Background In North African populations, G2019S mutation in LRRK2 gene, encoding for the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, is the most prevalent mutation linked to familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Early detection of G2019S by fast genetic testing is very important to guide PD’s d...
