Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique to measure retinal layer thickness, providing insights into retinal ganglion cell integrity. Studies have shown reduced retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, it is unclear if there is a common genetic overlap between the macula and...
