Higher frequency of certain cancers in LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers with Parkinson disease: a pooled analysis.

ABSTRACT: Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) who harbor LRRK2 G2019S mutations may have increased risks of nonskin cancers. However, the results have been inconsistent across studies.To analyze pooled data from 5 centers to further examine the association between LRRK2 G2019S mutation and cancer among patients with PD and to explore factors that could explain discrepancies.Clinical, demographic, and genotyping data as well as cancer outcomes were pooled from 1549 patients with PD recruited across 5 movement disorders clinics located in Europe, Israel, and the United States. Associations between LRRK2 G2019S mutation and the outcomes were examined using mixed-effects logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Models were adjusted for age and ethnicity (Ashkenazi Jewish vs others) as fixed effects and study center as a random effect.All cancers combined, nonskin cancers, smoking-related cancers, hormone-related cancers, and other types of cancer.The overall prevalence of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation was 11.4% among all patients with PD. Mutation carriers were younger at PD diagnosis and more likely to be women (53.1%) and of Ashkenazi Jewish descent (76.8%) in comparison with individuals who were not mutation carriers. The LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers had statistically significant increased risks for nonskin cancers (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.04-2.52), hormone-related cancers (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.07-3.26) and breast cancer (OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.05-5.22) in comparison with noncarriers. There were no associations with other cancers. There were no major statistically significant differences in the results when the data were stratified by Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity; however, there was some evidence of heterogeneity across centers.This multinational study from 5 centers demonstrates that LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers have an overall increased risk of cancer, especially for hormone-related cancer and breast cancer in women. Larger prospective cohorts or family-based studies investigating associations between LRRK2 mutations and cancer among patients with PD are warranted to better understand the underlying genetic susceptibility between PD and hormone-related cancers.

Project description:BackgroundLRRK2 mutations are a common cause of dominantly inherited PD. Previous studies showed decreases in urine levels of didocohexaenoyl (22:6) bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate in LRRK2-knockout mice and in non-human primates treated with LRRK2 kinase inhibitors. We hypothesized that urine levels of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms will be higher in individuals with a PD-causing gain-of-kinase function mutation, LRRK2 G2019S. The objective of this study was to investigate alterations in urinary phospholipids as biomarkers of LRRK2 mutations and Parkinson's disease status/phenotypes.MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to assess 54 bioactive phospholipids in urine from the LRRK2 Cohort Consortium (n = 80). To confirm and extend the findings, urine from an independent LRRK2 cohort from Columbia University Irving Medical Center (n = 116) was used. Both cohorts were composed of LRRK2 G2019S carriers and non-carriers with and without PD.ResultsIn each cohort, 4 bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms (di-18:1-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate, didocohexaenoyl [22:6] bis[monoacylglycerol] phosphate, 2,2'-di-22:6-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate, and 2,2'-di-18:1-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate) were significantly higher (2.5- to 4.3-fold) in G2019S carriers compared with non-carriers. Interestingly, 2,2'-di-18:1-bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate levels were marginally higher in LRRK2 carriers with PD than in those without PD (P = 0.045). Moreover, increased 2,2' and total di-22:6-bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate were associated with worse cognitive status assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (P = 0.0033 and 0.0144, respectively).ConclusionsThe observed association of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms with LRRK2 G2019S mutation, PD status among G2019S carriers, and correlation with cognitive decline suggest the potential use of urinary bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms as biomarkers for clinical trials of LRRK2-targeted therapies. © 2019 The Authors.

Project description:Identification of early changes in Dopamine-Transporter (DaT) SPECT imaging expected in the prodromal phase of Parkinson's disease (PD), are usually overlooked. Carriers of the G2019S LRRK2 mutation are known to be at high risk for developing PD, compared to non-carriers. In this work we aimed to study early changes in Dopamine uptake in non-manifesting PD carriers (NMC) of the G2019S LRRK2 mutation using quantitative DaT-SPECT analysis and to examine the potential for early prediction of PD. Eighty Ashkenazi-Jewish subjects were included in this study: eighteen patients with PD; thirty-one NMC and thirty-one non-manifesting non-carriers (NMNC). All subjects underwent a through clinical assessment including evaluation of motor, olfactory, affective and non-motor symptoms and DaT-SPECT imaging. A population based DaT-SPECT template was created based on the NMNC cohort, and data driven volumes-of-interest (VOIs) were defined. Comparisons between groups were performed based on VOIs and voxel-wise analysis. The striatum area of all three cohorts was segmented into four VOIs, corresponding to the right/left dorsal and ventral striatum. Significant differences in clinical measures were found between patients with PD and non-manifesting subjects with no differences between NMC and NMNC. Significantly lower uptake (p<0.001) was detected in the right and left dorsal striatum in the PD group (2.2±0.3, 2.3±0.4) compared to the NMC (4.2±0.6, 4.3±0.5) and NMNC (4.5±0.6, 4.6±0.6), and significantly (p = 0.05) lower uptake in the right dorsal striatum in the NMC group compared to NMNC. Converging results were obtained using voxel-wise analysis. Two NMC participants, who later phenoconverted into PD, demonstrated reduced uptake mainly in the dorsal striatum. No significant correlations were found between the DaT-SPECT uptake in the different VOIs and clinical and behavioral assessments in the non-manifesting groups. This study shows the clinical value of quantitative assessment of DaT-SPECT imaging and the potential for predicting PD by detection of dopamine depletion, already at the pre-symptomatic stage.
