Accurate long-read sequencing identified GBA variants as a major genetic risk factor in the Luxembourg Parkinson extquoterights study 2023.03.29.23287880
Heterozygous variants in the glucocerebrosidase GBA gene are an increasingly recognized risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Due to the pseudogene GBAP1 that shares 96% sequence homology with the GBA coding region, accurate variant calling by array-based or short-read sequencing methods remains a major challenge in understanding the genetic landscape of GBA-related PD. We established a novel long-read sequencing technology for assessing the full length of the GBA gene. We used subsequent regression models for genotype-phenotype analyses. We sequenced 752 patients with parkinsonism and 806... Mehr ...
