Why does Lewy pathology in LRRK2-PD specifically associate with non-motor symptoms rather than motor symptoms?

OPEN

The abstract notes that Lewy pathology in LRRK2-PD correlates with cognitive deficits, anxiety, and orthostatic hypotension, but not with the classic motor symptoms of PD. This selective association suggests distinct pathogenic mechanisms that remain unexplored. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity promotes anterograde axonal transport and presynaptic targeting of α-synuclein. (None, None, PMID:34749824)
