Abstract excerpt
The molecular pathways linking genetic variants to Parkinson's disease (PD) onset and progression remain incompletely defined; however, risk alleles in multiple genes, including GBA1, strongly implicate lipid metabolism. To systematically identify causal biomarker signatures, we analysed comprehensive metabolome profiles from blood plasma in 149 PD patients and 150 controls, along with complementary genetic,...
