Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of brain iron regulation and its disruption in disease is limited. Excess iron affects motor circuitry, contributing to Parkinson's disease (PD) risk. The molecular mechanisms regulating central iron levels, beyond a few well-known genes controlling peripheral iron, remain unclear. We generated scores based on the archetypal brain iron accumulation observed in magnetic resonance imaging scans of...
