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.
Douglas P. Loesch, Andréa R. V. R. Horimoto, Karl Heilbron…·Ignacio Fernandez Mata
This study conducts the first GWAS of Parkinson's disease in Latinos, identifies SNCA as significant, and finds genetic overlap with Europeans.
Elif Irem Sarihan, Eduardo Pérez‐Palma, Lisa‐Marie Niestroj…·Ignacio Fernandez Mata
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.
Francis P. Grenn, Jonggeol Jeffrey Kim, Mary B. Makarious…·Cornelis Blauwendraat
The paper presents a GWAS locus browser for Parkinson's disease that helps prioritize genes associated with risk variants from multiple GWAS studies.
