ASAP, 2023(SUPPLEMENT) Using Single-cell Analyses to Understand Inherited and Acquired Genetic Variation in Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disorder that not only affects the function of the brain, but also the gut. Both of these are complex tissues composed of functionally diverse cell types...
-
Data-Driven Subtyping and Stratification Program, 2023Longitudinal Investigation of Statistical Subtype Analysis in Genetic Forms of Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale: People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience different symptoms and disease course, even individuals with the same genetic form of PD. Because we do not yet understand the range of...
