Abstract excerpt
Heritability in Parkinson's disease (PD) may be driven by rare variants (RVs), but genetic data for Chinese cohorts remain limited. We investigated the relationship between RVs and the risk and phenotype of PD by performing targeted exome sequencing of 29 PD candidate genes in 311 late-onset, sporadic Chinese PD patients and 699 local controls. A total of 174 RVs (that were likely deleterious using in silico...
