Functionalization of the TMEM175 p.M393T variant as a risk factor for Parkinson disease

Abstract excerpt

Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in Parkinson disease (PD) have identified a signal at chromosome 4p16.3; however, the causal variant has not been established for this locus. Deep investigation of the region resulted in one identified variant, the rs34311866 missense SNP (p.M393T) in TMEM175, which is 20 orders of magnitude more significant than any other SNP in the region. Because TMEM175 is a...
