The Association between LRRK2 G2385R and Phenotype of Parkinson's Disease in Asian Population: A Meta-Analysis of Comparative Studies.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between the LRRK2 G2385R variant and clinical characteristics in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the results have been inconsistent. This study investigated whether the LRRK2 G2385R variant was associated with a unique clinical phenotype of PD in the Asian population, using a meta-analysis. The PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and WANFANG databases were searched until September 2017. The strict selection criteria and exclusion criteria were determined, and mean differences (MD) or odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strength of associations. Statistical analyses and graphics were performed using Review Manager 5.3. Sixteen related case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. The LRRK2 G2385R carriers significantly more often presented a family history (OR: 1.98; 95% CI: 1.16-3.39; P=0.01) and had a longer disease duration (MD?=?0.47, 95% CI: 0.01-0.93, P=0.04) and a higher MMSE score (MD?=?1.02, 95% CI: 0.43-1.62 P=0.0007) than LRRK2 G2385R noncarriers. There were no significant differences in sex distribution, age at onset, initial symptoms, motor symptoms, depression, levodopa-equivalent dose, and related complications between LRRK2 G2385R-carrier and LRRK2 G2385R-noncarrier PD patients. Our results suggested that most of the clinical characteristics of PD patients with LRRK2 G2385R mutations are similar to those of LRRK2 G2385R noncarriers among Asian PD patients, except for the more common family history, relatively longer disease duration, and higher MMSE scores in the former group.

Project description:Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Variants in the LRRK2 gene have been shown to be associated with PD. However, the clinical characteristics of LRRK2-related PD are heterogeneous. In our study, we performed a comprehensive pooled analysis of the association between specific LRRK2 variants and clinical features of PD. Methods: Articles from the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were included in the meta-analysis. Strict inclusion criteria were applied, and detailed information was extracted from the final original articles included. Revman 5.3 software was used for publication biases and pooled and sensitivity analyses. Results: In all, 66 studies having the clinical manifestations of PD patients with G2019S, G2385R, R1628P, and R1441G were included for the final analysis. The prominent clinical features of LRRK2-G2019S-related PD patients were female sex, higher rates of early-onset PD (EOPD), and family history (OR: 0.77 [male], 1.37, 2.62; p < 0.00001, 0.02, < 0.00001). PD patients with G2019S were more likely to have high scores of Schwab & England (MD: 1.49; p < 0.00001), low GDS scores, high UPSIT scores (MD: 0.43, 4.70; p = 0.01, < 0.00001), and good response to L-dopa (OR: 2.33; p < 0.0001). Further, G2019S carriers had higher LEDD (MD: 115.20; p < 0.00001) and were more likely to develop motor complications, such as dyskinesia and motor fluctuations (OR: 2.18, 2.02; p < 0.00001, 0.04) than non-carriers. G2385R carriers were more likely to have family history (OR: 2.10; p = 0.007) than non-G2385R carriers and lower H-Y and higher MMSE scores (MD: -0.13, 1.02; p = 0.02, 0.0007). G2385R carriers had higher LEDD and tended to develop motor complications, such as motor fluctuations (MD: 53.22, OR: 3.17; p = 0.01, < 0.00001) than non-carriers. Other clinical presentations did not feature G2019S or G2385R. We observed no distinct clinical features for R1628P or R1441G. Our subgroup analyses in different ethnic group for specific variant also presented with relevant clinical characteristics of PD patients. Conclusions: Clinical heterogeneity was observed among LRRK2-associated PD in different variants in total and in different ethnic groups, especially for G2019S and G2385R.
