We aimed to replicate a recent study that found a high frequency of the GBA p.K198E mutant in Colombian patients with PD. We identified the p.K198E substitution at a lower frequency in our cohort of Colombians with PD (2.1%), and this was not significantly different than controls (1.7%, P = 0.86) emphasizing the need for larger genetic studies in Latin America.
我们旨在复制最近的一项研究,该研究发现哥伦比亚 PD 患者中 GBA p.K198E 突变体的频率很高。我们在哥伦比亚 PD 患者队列中发现 p.K198E 取代的频率较低(2.1%),与对照组相比无显著差异(1.7%,P = 0.86),这强调了在拉丁美洲进行更大规模遗传研究的必要性。
