All subjects were screened for LRRK2 p.G2019S by Sanger sequencing or
TaqMan SNP assays-on-demand (Life Technologies, Inc, Foster City, CA) and excluded for other pathogenic mutations implicated in PD. 19, 20 Subsequent genotyping was carried out by a combination of Sequenom
MassArray iPLEX system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA) and TaqMan genotyping.
Cumulative incidence plots (Kaplan Meier) and hazard ratios (Cox proportional hazard regression models) were used to stratify age of initial symptom by genotypes using
JMP® software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). These models were adjusted for family relatedness, gender and population series (Algeria, France, North America, Norway and Tunisia) (Table S10). Right censoring for asymptomatic carriers was performed at age of examination. Metaanalyses of all populations was performed with R-package 'metafor'.
