23andMe discovers genetic variant that may protect those at risk for Parkinson's disease

eurekalert.org — “23andMe Inc. has announced the first-time discovery of the potentially protective nature of the gene serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) which appears to be protective against a high-risk leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutation for Parkinson's disease. In a program funded by a $500,000 grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, The Scripps Research Institute is investigating SGK1 and LRRK2, seeking to identify a new and potentially vital therapeutic targeView full resource at eurekalert.org
