Of interest in Parkinson’s disease, six potential orthologs of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2/PARK8), along with putative orthologs of other Parkinson’s disease-associated genes such as protein deglycase DJ-1 (PARK7/DJ-1), Parkin (PRKN), Parkin coregulated gene protein (PACRG), and synphilin (SNCAIP), were identified. This evidence concerns the gene PRKN and Parkinson disease.
