Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic heterogeneity in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been unambiguously reported across different populations. Assuming a higher genetic load, we tested variant burden in PD genes to an early onset PD cohort from India. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed in 250 PD patients recruited following MDS-UPDRS criteria. The number of rare variants in the 20 known PD genes per exome were used to...
