Table 2 Quick view for risk counseling.
Counseling scenario | Generalized genetic risk statements |
---|---|
First-degree relative affected | Compared to a baseline lifetime risk of 3% for the general population, this family history increases chances by about twofold or 6% (GeneReviews® Parkinson Disease Overview) |
LRRK2 G2019S test result in at-risk patient of European or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry | Compared to the baseline lifetime risk … this genetic test result increases chances to about 26%a |
GBA1 positive test result in an at-risk patient of any ancestry | Compared to the baseline lifetime risk of … risk is in the range of 10–30%a |
PRKN positive test result (homozygous) in an affected patient | Assuming the variants are on different chromosomes, the theoretical risk to each offspring for early-onset PD depends on the carrier status of the partner; risk for children to be at least a carrier is 100%, parents will be obligate carriers |
