Large-scale genetic characterization of Parkinson's disease in the African and African admixed populations

This study identifies genetic variants associated with Parkinson's disease in African and African admixed populations, highlighting differences from European and Asian populations.

Genome-wide Association Identifies Novel Etiological Insights Associated with Parkinsons Disease in African and African Admixed Populations

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.

MAPT allele and haplotype frequencies in Nigerian Africans: population distribution and association with Parkinsons disease risk and age at onset.

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.

Negative screening for 12 rare LRRK2 pathogenic variants in a cohort of Nigerians with Parkinson disease

The paper screens 12 rare LRRK2 variants in Nigerian Parkinson's patients and controls, finding none present in either group.
