Whole Genome Sequencing in Parkinson's disease
Abstract
The NIA aimed to generate deep genome sequence of 3050 Parkinsons disease (PD) cases and 700 matched controls and to aggregate data for control genomes. All genomes were to be joint called to harmonize data. These data would be used within NIA to identify and fine map PD linked risk loci. The cumulative genetic data was to be used to identify putative risk variants which could then be tested for biological consequences. The data was to be distributed and made available through NIH databases. These goals have been achieved. More than 5,000 PD genomes were sequenced, and harmonized with genomic data from other series, from control cohorts, and from other diseases. These data have been made available through the LONI website (for PPMI samples) and through the Accelerating Medicines Partnership PD portal (now ~10,000 genomes). These data have been used as a part of an effort to more than double the known risk loci for PD (90 loci) and to attribute biological consequences to these loci. In addition, this work has contributed to the increased precision of disease predictive modeling using machine learning.
