▶Genomewide association study for susceptibility genes contributing to familial Parkinson diseaseAssociationN=1,724Nathan Pankratz et al.(2009)· Human Genetics
First genome-wide association study (GWAS) of familial Parkinson disease in 857 cases and 867 controls identified association with SNPs in GAK/DGKQ (p=3.4×10⁻⁶, OR=1.69), SNCA (p=5.5×10⁻⁵, OR=1.35), and MAPT (p=2.0×10⁻⁵, OR=0.56). Meta-analysis with Fung et al. strengthened evidence for GAK/DGKQ (p=2.5×10⁻⁷) and MAPT regions, confirming previously implicated genes and nominating new susceptibility loci for PD.
