Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: VPS35 and VPS13 have been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), and their shared phenotype in yeast when reduced in function is abnormal vacuolar transport. We aim to test if additional potentially deleterious variants in other genes that share this phenotype can modify the risk for PD. METHODS: 77 VPS and VPS-related genes were analyzed using whole-genome-sequencing data from 202 PD patients of...
