This study describes analysis of loss-of-function of the Drosophila ortholog of LRRK2 (dLRRK), as well as analysis of the effects of over-expression of wild-type Drosophila and human LRRK2, and a pathogenic mutant form (hLRRK2-G2019S). The authors point out that LRRK2 is associated with familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson's Disease.
