Prioritizing Parkinson’s disease genes using population-scale transcriptomic data

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 41 susceptibility loci associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD) but identifying putative causal genes and the underlying mechanisms remains challenging. Here, we leverage large-scale transcriptomic datasets to prioritize genes that are likely to affect PD by using a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) approach. Using this approach, we identify 66...
