Abstract

BACKGROUND: Previous investigations into neurodegenerative diseases demonstrated the utility of cortical diffusivity metrics in assessing microstructural changes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore cortical diffusivity metrics in genetic Parkinson's disease (PD) with glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA1) and Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutations, encompassing both nonmanifest ca…
