| Abstract |
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common form of parkinsonism, affecting nearly 2% of people older than 65 years of age. Symptomatic treatment has been available for decades, but to date there is no treatment retarding disease progression. Over the past decade several genes causing parkinsonism have been identified in families with a mendelian pattern of inheritance. The most recent is the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene. Pathogenic mutations in the LRRK2 gene cause a significant proportion of clinically typical, late-onset PD. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the contribution of LRRK2 mutations in understanding parkinsonism. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2022.
All research outputs
#7,453,827
of 22,787,797 outputs
Outputs from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#391
of 914 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,610
of 64,360 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,787,797 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 914 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 64,360 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
