Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) also known as dardarin (from the Basque word dardara which means trembling) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PARK8 gene. LRRK2 is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. Variants of this gene are associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease and also Crohn’s disease.
