Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Classical randomisation of clinical trial patients creates a source of genetic variance that may be contributing to the high failure rate seen in neurodegenerative disease trials. Our objective was to quantify genetic difference between randomised trial arms and determine how imbalance can affect trial outcomes. METHODS: 5851 patients with Parkinson's disease of European ancestry data and two...
