This study investigates the association between COMT genetic variants and Parkinson's disease risk across diverse ancestries but finds no significant enrichment of COMT risk alleles in PD patients after multiple testing correction.

This paper analyzes genetic variation in Parkinson's disease across multiple ancestries, revealing ancestry-specific patterns and highlighting the importance of diverse populations in genetic research.

The paper validates a mitochondrial polygenic score for Parkinson's disease across diverse populations, finding strong associations in Europeans and Ashkenazi Jews but not in other ancestries.

This study assesses genetic variation in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases across ancestries, finding distinct population attributable risks for different loci.

This paper reviews 123 neurodegenerative disease GWAS and finds 82% focus on European ancestry, with non-European studies identifying fewer risk loci.

This study examines demographic and phenotypic reporting in fNIRS literature, finding low reporting and potential exclusion of individuals with darker skin tones and curlier hair.
