The paper screens variants in PD-related genes in Latin American EOPD and familial PD patients, identifying pathogenic variants and contributing to the genetic characterization of these conditions in the region.

The paper identifies mitochondrial variants associated with Parkinson's disease in Brazilians and develops a polygenic risk score linked to increased disease risk.

This study identifies mitochondrial DNA variants associated with levodopa responsiveness in Parkinson's disease patients, highlighting specific subunit mutations and population-specific variants.

The paper conducts an X-chromosome association study in Latin American cohorts, identifying new loci linked to Parkinson Disease and replicating previous findings.

This paper reviews the lack of diversity in Parkinson's disease genetics research, highlighting underrepresentation of non-European populations and the need for more inclusive studies.

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.

This study conducts the first GWAS of Parkinson's disease in Latinos, identifies SNCA as significant, and finds genetic overlap with Europeans.

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.
