Parkinson's disease age at onset genome-wide association study: Defining heritability, genetic loci, and α-synuclein mechanisms.

Cornelis Blauwendraat, +54 more

TL;DR: The genetic determinants of PD age at onset are largely unknown and increasing evidence supports an extensive and complex genetic contribution to PD.

Resource Profile and User Guide of the Polygenic Index Repository

TL;DR: A theoretical framework is presented to help interpret analyses involving PGIs and it is revealed that a PGI can be understood as an unbiased but noisy measure of a latent variable the authors call the “additive SNP factor.”
Journal ArticleDOI

Resource profile and user guide of the Polygenic Index Repository.

TL;DR: In this article, the additive SNP factor was used as a proxy for the PGI to correct the errors-in-variables bias in the regression model, and an estimator that corrects the bias was presented.

Parkinson disease age of onset GWAS: defining heritability, genetic loci and a-synuclein mechanisms

TL;DR: An age of onset GWAS based on 28,568 Parkinson’s disease cases shows a model in which alpha-synuclein and lysosomal mechanisms impact not only PD risk but also age of disease onset and highlights that therapies that target alpha- synuclein aggregation are more likely to be disease-modifying than therapies targeting other pathways.
