Patient 1 is a LRRK2 G2019S heterozygote and carries a clinical diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome. Patient 2 is a LRRK2 R793M heterozygote and carries a clinical diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia/frontotemporal dementia. Z-score is based on comparison to healthy controls as described previously.19
