Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported multiple risk variants for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, little is known about how these reported risk variants confer risk of PD. OBJECTIVE: To nominate genes whose genetically regulated expression in dopaminergic neurons may have a causal role in PD. METHODS: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study by...
