摘要
Objective: To assess cognitive abilities of healthy first-degree relatives of Ashkenazi patients with Parkinson disease (PD), carriers of the G2019S mutation in the LRRK2 gene. Methods: In this observational study, 60 consecutive healthy first-degree relatives (aged 50.9 +/- 6.2 years; 48% male; 30 G2019S carriers) were assessed using a computerized cognitive program, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment questionnaire, the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Results: G2019S carriers scored significantly lower on the computerized executive function index (p = 0.04) and on specific executive function tasks (Stroop test, p = 0.007). Conclusion: Carrying the LRRK2 G2019S mutation was associated with lower executive performance in a population at risk for PD. Neurology (R) 2012;79:1027-1032
