The paper identifies human-lineage-specific genomic elements, called CNCRs, and shows their enrichment in neurological disease genes and APOE intron-3 retention transcripts in Alzheimer's disease.

The paper identifies disease-relevant regulatory loci in human basal ganglia using genomic and transcriptomic data from 117 brains, highlighting splicing eQTLs and ASE analyses as sources of cell-specific regulatory information.

Across 37,688 Parkinson's cases, 18,618 proxy-cases and 1.4M controls, 90 risk signals map to 78 loci (37 new); an 1805-variant polygenic score explains 26-36% of heritability.

This study conducts a GWAS of Parkinson disease in Spain, identifies a novel population-specific signal at PARK2 associated with age-at-onset, and highlights genetic substructure for future fine-mapping.

The paper performs a genome-wide association study of dementia and its endophenotypes, identifying novel loci and causal networks related to Alzheimer's disease.

This study connects Parkinson’s disease heritability to cell-type-specific gene regulation, finding enrichment in lysosomal genes in astrocytic and microglial subtypes rather than specific cell types or brain regions.
