Analysis of genetic factors in hereditary and non-hereditary forms of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's syndrome (PS) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's dementia. The vast majority of patients are ill with no apparent cause. In a small part of the patients (less than 5%) a clear heredity can be observed. Despite their rarity, the identification and functional analysis of the genes leading to these so-called "monogenic" forms of the disease has contributed significantly to the elucidation of the cellular mechanisms involved in disease development. It is assumed that so far only a small fraction of the causative genes has been found. However, the causes of the far more frequent non-hereditary forms of Parkinson's disease are still unknown. It is also assumed for this probably heterogeneous group of diseases that genetic factors play a not insignificant role, especially in the sense of influencing the risk of illness, the age of onset or the course of the disease. The first group of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has already shown that variants in several genes, which have already been described as disease-related in familial forms of the disease, can also influence the risk for non-hereditary disease forms.
Genetic causes of the sporadic Parkinson's disease
The genetic variants known today can only explain a small part of the overall risk of disease. In order to obtain a more complete picture of the entire genetic risk profile and to derive new approaches for diagnosis, prevention or therapy, as complete genetic data sets as possible must be examined by many thousands of patients. In large international consortia, such as the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium (IPDGC), the research group conducts such studies in collaboration with many colleagues from around the world (Simon-Sanchez et al., Nat Genet, 2009, Nalls et al., Nat Genet 2014).

Leucine rich repeat kinase 2, LRRK2 (Park8)
In 2004, the group was able to identify mutations in the LRRK2 gene (Leucine rich repeats kinase 2) in two large families with inherited Parkinson's disease (Zimprich et al., Neuron 2004). This discovery was taken up by many other groups around the world, and it turned out that LRRK2 mutations are the most common cause for autosomal dominant Parkinson's syndrome. Although all patients from affected families have mutations in the same gene, there is a remarkable heterogeneity both in terms of clinical appearance and neuropathological findings. For example, the spectrum of found protein aggregates of typical Lewy corpuscles or tau-positive neurofibrils suffices to the complete absence of both aggregate forms. The elucidation of the molecular pathomechanism of the disease caused by LRRK2 mutations could therefore be important for synucleinopathies (Lewy corpuscles) as well as for tauopathies (neurofibrils). This suggests a central role of the gene product in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases with Parkinson's disease.

Courage-PD: COmprehensive Unbiased Risk factor Assessement for Genetics and Environment in Parkinson‘s Disease
This multi-national project, funded under the "Joint Programming for Neurodegenerative Disease (JPND)", will combine genetic, epidemiological and cell biology approaches to contribute to a better understanding of the development of Parkinson's disease. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors in the development of the disease. Risk factors are then examined in cell culture models based on the iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) technology for their functional effects.
