Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nucleotide repeat expansions are a potential factor in Parkinson's disease (PD) risk, but previous studies were inconsistent. We investigated 14 non-coding repeat expansion genes (C9ORF72, FMR1, AFF2, ATXN8OS, ATXN10, CNBP, CSTB, DMPK, FXN, NOP56, NOTCH2NLC, PPP2R2B, RFC1, and TCF4) in a large cohort. METHODS: We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank, including...
