Abstract excerpt
Neurodegenerative brain diseases (NBDs) are characterized by cognitive decline and movement impairments caused by neuronal loss in different brain regions. A large fraction of the genetic heritability of NBDs is not explained by the current known mutations. Genome-wide association studies identified novel disease-risk loci, adding to the genetic basis of NBDs. Many of the associated variants reside in noncoding...
