Genome- and Exome-Wide Association Studies Revealed Candidate Genes Associated with DaTscan Imaging Features

CONCLUSION: We have shown that particular variants of IGFN1 and MAP2K4 genes may be associated with PD. Since DaTscan imaging could be positive in other Parkinsonian syndromes, caution should be taken when interpreting our results. Future experimental studies are also needed to verify these findings.PMID:37664790 | PMC:PMC10468272 | DOI:10.1155/2023/2893662
