Contact us if you are an author of an association study regarding this gene, and don't find your study in this table, or find errors in the representation of your study details.
Design:  “CC” (case-control), “FBAT” (family-based)
Type:  “GWA” (genome-wide association study); “CWA” (chromosome-wide association study); “LSA” (other large-scale association study); “cSNP” (coding-region SNP)
Source:  Source of case population -> “CL” (clinic-based), “PO” (population-based), or “CO” (community-based).
Platform:  Please refer to orignal publication for exact description.
# SNPs:  Approximate number of polymorphisms covered.
Onset Age and Age:  Mean or median age at onset or examination, respectively.
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.
