Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in Parkinson's disease (PD), with mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) emerging as a potential marker for mitochondrial health. We investigated the links between blood mtDNA-CN and PD severity and risk using the Accelerating Medicines Partnership program for Parkinson's Disease dataset, replicating our results in the UK Biobank.
