The paper identifies a non-coding risk variant in GBA1 associated with Parkinson's disease in African ancestry populations, showing it disrupts splicing and reduces glucocerebrosidase activity.

Intronic GBA1 variant rs3115534-G, common in African and African admixed ancestry but rare elsewhere, raises Parkinson's disease risk (OR 1.58) and lowers onset age.

The paper examines MAPT haplotype frequencies in Nigerian Africans and finds no association between the H1 haplotype and Parkinson's disease risk or age at onset.

The paper confirms the absence of the LRRK2 p.G2019S mutation in a larger Nigerian cohort of Parkinson's disease patients and controls, supporting its origin after human dispersal from sub-Saharan Africa.
