Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss and the
formation of cytoplasmic protein inclusions. Although the exact pathogenesis of PD is …

Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder for which both rare and
common genetic variants contribute to disease risk, onset, and progression. Mutations in …

Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of
worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury …

Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%, much of which is attributable to common risk
alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with …

The loss of dopamine (DA) neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is a
defining pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Nevertheless, the molecular …

The function of the mammalian brain relies upon the specification and spatial positioning of
diversely specialized cell types. Yet, the molecular identities of the cell types and their …

Genome-wide association studies provide a powerful means of identifying loci and genes
contributing to disease, but in many cases, the related cell types/states through which genes …

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic
neurons, but the exact disease aetiology remains largely unknown. To date, Parkinson's …
