Parkinson's disease (PD) is a global health challenge, yet historically studies of PD have taken place predominantly in European populations. Recent genetics research conducted in non-European populations has revealed novel population-specific genetic loci linked to PD risk, highlighting the importance of studying PD globally. These insights have broadened our understanding of PD etiology, which is crucial for developing disease-modifying interventions. This review comprehensively explores the global genetic landscape of PD, emphasizing the scientific rationale for studying underrepresented populations. It underscores challenges, such as genotype-phenotype heterogeneity and inclusion difficulties for non-European participants, emphasizing the ongoing need for diverse and inclusive research in PD.

帕金森病(PD)是一个全球性的健康挑战,但历史上 PD 的研究主要集中在欧洲人群中。最近在非欧洲人群中进行的遗传学研究揭示了与 PD 风险相关的新的特定人群遗传位点,强调了在全球范围内研究 PD 的重要性。这些新的认识拓宽了我们对 PD 病因的理解,这对于开发疾病修饰干预措施至关重要。本综述全面探讨了 PD 的全球遗传格局,强调了研究代表性不足人群的科学依据。它强调了诸如基因型-表型异质性和非欧洲参与者纳入困难等挑战,强调了 PD 研究中持续需要多样性和包容性。ANN NEUROL 2024;95:831-842.
