Landscape of copy number variants in Spanish People with Dementia

The paper analyzes copy number variants in a Spanish dementia cohort and identifies potential novel genes associated with ADRD but finds no genome-wide significant associations.

A Novel Susceptibility Locus in NFASC Highlights Oligodendrocytes and Myelination in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Pathology

The paper performs a GWAS on PSP in the Iberian population, replicates known risk variants, and identifies a novel locus in NFASC/CNTN2 associated with oligodendrocyte and myelination processes.

Human-lineage-specific genomic elements: relevance to neurodegenerative disease and APOE transcript usage

The paper identifies human-lineage-specific genomic elements, called CNCRs, and shows their enrichment in neurological disease genes and APOE intron-3 retention transcripts in Alzheimer's disease.

Regulatory sites for known and novel splicing in human basal ganglia are enriched for disease-relevant information

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.

Expanding Parkinson’s disease genetics: novel risk loci, genomic context, causal insights and heritable risk

Across 37,688 Parkinson's cases, 18,618 proxy-cases and 1.4M controls, 90 risk signals map to 78 loci (37 new); an 1805-variant polygenic score explains 26-36% of heritability.

The genetic architecture of Parkinson disease in Spain: characterizing population-specific risk, differential haplotype structures, and providing etiologic insight

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.

Genome-wide association analysis of dementia and its clinical endophenotypes reveal novel loci associated with Alzheimer disease and three causality networks of AD: the GR@ACE project.

The paper performs a genome-wide association study of dementia and its endophenotypes, identifying novel loci and causal networks related to Alzheimer's disease.

Moving beyond neurons: the role of cell type-specific gene regulation in Parkinson’s disease heritability

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.
