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.

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.

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.
