Polygenic risk prediction and SNCA haplotype analysis in a Latino Parkinson's disease cohort

Douglas P. Loesch, Andréa R. V. R. Horimoto, Elif Irem Sarihan, Miguel Inca‐Martinez, Emily Mason, Mario Cornejo‐Olivas, Luis Torres, Pilar Mazzetti, Carlos Cosentino, Elison H. Sarapura‐Castro, Andrea Rivera‐Valdivia, Ángel C. Medina, Elena Diéguez, Víctor E. Raggio, Andres Lescano, , Timothy D. O’Connor

The paper constructs and validates a polygenic risk score for Parkinson's disease in a Latino cohort, finding ancestry-related biases and haplotype associations at the SNCA locus.

Genome-wide Analysis of Copy Number Variation in Latin American Parkinson's Disease Patients

Elif Irem Sarihan, Eduardo Pérez‐Palma, Lisa‐Marie Niestroj, Douglas P. Loesch, Miguel Inca‐Martinez, Andréa R. V. R. Horimoto, Mario Cornejo‐Olivas, Luis Torres, Pilar Mazzetti, Carlos Cosentino, Elison H. Sarapura‐Castro, Andrea Rivera‐Valdivia, Elena Diéguez, Víctor E. Raggio, Andres Lescano, , Ignacio Fernandez Mata

The paper analyzes copy number variants in Latin American Parkinson's disease patients and finds enrichment of variants overlapping known Parkinson's genes, particularly PARK2, associated with early-onset disease.
