Group M1 - DZNE-2023-01035 SP - 1015 - 1025 PY - 2023 AB - An understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying diseases in ancestrally diverse populations is an important step towards development of targeted treatments. Research in African and African admixed populations can enable mapping of complex traits, because of their genetic diversity, extensive population substructure, and distinct linkage disequilibrium patterns. We aimed to do a comprehensive genome-wide assessment in African and African admixed individuals to better understand the genetic architecture of Parkinson's disease in these underserved populations.We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in people of African and African admixed ancestry with and without Parkinson's disease. Individuals were included from several cohorts that were available as a part of the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program, the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium Africa, and 23andMe. A diagnosis of Parkinson's disease was confirmed clinically by a movement disorder specialist for every individual in each cohort, except for 23andMe, in which it was self-reported based on clinical diagnosis. We characterised ancestry-specific risk, differential haplotype structure and admixture, coding and structural genetic variation, and enzymatic activity.We included 197 918 individuals (1488 cases and 196 430 controls) in our genome-wide analysis. We identified a novel common risk factor for Parkinson's disease (overall meta-analysis odds ratio for risk of Parkinson's disease 1·58 [95 KW - Parkinson Disease: ethnology KW - Humans KW - Parkinson Disease: genetics KW - Genome-Wide Association Study KW - Genetic Loci KW - Linkage Disequilibrium KW - Black People: genetics KW - Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide: genetics KW - Genetic Predisposition to Disease: genetics KW - African People: genetics KW - GBA protein, human (NLM Chemicals) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:37633302 C2 - pmc:PMC10593199 DO - DOI:10.1016/S1474-4422(23)00283-1 UR - https://pub.dzne.de/record/265764 ER -
