Loss of Parkinson’s susceptibility gene LRRK2 promotes carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis

Abstract Pathological links between neurodegenerative disease and cancer are emerging. LRRK2 overactivity contributes to Parkinson’s disease, whereas our previous analyses of public cancer patient data revealed that decreased LRRK2 expression is associated with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The clinic...
