This study shows that Lrrk2 p.G2019S mutant mice exhibit increased phosphorylated α-synuclein and tau in the brain after influenza A infection, suggesting a link between LRRK2 mutations and neurodegeneration.

This study shows that Lrrk2 and Snca gene variants do not affect encephalitis severity in newborn mice infected with reovirus T3D via direct brain inoculation, unlike intranasal infection.
