Contact us if you are an author of an association study regarding this gene and do not find your study in this table or find errors in the representation of your study details.
Design: “CC” (case-control), “FBAT” (family-based)
Type: “GWAS” (genome-wide association study); “STRs” (short tandem repeats)
Source: Source of case population -> “CL” (clinic-based), “PO” (population-based), or “CO” (community-based).
Platform: Please refer to orignal publication for exact description. “cSNP” (coding-region SNP)
# SNPs: Approximate number of polymorphisms covered.
DX: Criteria used to determine PD diagnosis -> "C" (clinical PD diagnosis), "N" (neuropathological PD diagnosis), "M" (mixed, i.e. PD sample contains both clinical and neuropathological cases), "U" (unknown).
Featured Genes: Dropdown menu of genes highlighted (“featured”) in original publication as potential PD susceptibility genes/loci after completion of all analyses, e.g. replication in multiple samples.
(-) : No information provided/not applicable.
