Several lysosomal genes are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), yet the association between PD and , which encodes for the enzyme arylsulfatase A, remains controversial.
To evaluate the association between rare variants and PD.
To study possible association of rare variants (minor allele frequency<0.01) in with PD, we performed burden analyses in six independent cohorts with a total of 5,801 PD patients and 20,475 controls, using optimized sequence Kernel association test (SKAT-O), followed by a meta-analysis.
We found evidence for an association between functional variants and PD in four independent cohorts (P≤0.05 in each) and in the meta-analysis (P=0.042). We also found an association between loss-of-function variants and PD in the UKBB cohort (P=0.005) and in the meta-analysis (P=0.049). However, despite replicating in four independent cohorts, these results should be interpreted with caution as no association survived correction for multiple comparisons. Additionally, we describe two families with potential co-segregation of the variant p.E384K and PD.
Rare functional and loss-of-function variants may be associated with PD. Further replication in large case-control cohorts and in familial studies is required to confirm these associations.
多个溶酶体基因与帕金森病(PD)相关,但编码芳基硫酸酯酶A的基因与PD之间的关联仍存在争议。
评估罕见基因变异与PD之间的关联。
为研究基因中罕见变异(次要等位基因频率<0.01)与PD的可能关联,我们使用优化的序列核关联检验(SKAT-O),在六个独立队列(共5801例PD患者和20475例对照)中进行负担分析,随后进行荟萃分析。
我们在四个独立队列(每个队列P≤0.05)和荟萃分析(P=0.042)中发现了功能基因变异与PD之间存在关联的证据。我们还在英国生物银行队列(P=0.005)和荟萃分析(P=0.049)中发现功能丧失变异与PD之间存在关联。然而,尽管在四个独立队列中得到了重复验证,但这些结果在经过多重比较校正后无关联,因此应谨慎解释。此外,我们描述了两个家系,其中基因变异p.E384K与PD可能存在共分离现象。
罕见的功能和功能丧失基因变异可能与PD相关。需要在大型病例对照队列和家族研究中进一步重复验证以确认这些关联。
