Parkinson's disease genetics across diverse ancestries: an observational genetic study of causal and risk variants with translational implications.

The Lancet. Neurology·August 1, 2026·PMID 42456684

Why it matters

Parkinson's disease genetic architecture differs markedly across ancestries, yet most research and clinical trials have focused on European populations. Understanding these differences is essential for accurate genetic counseling, equitable access to emerging gene-targeted therapies, and ensuring that diagnostic and therapeutic advances benefit all populations.
