Oxidative stress has been implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). Genes involved PD, such as PRKN, PINK1 and PARK7, contribute to oxidative dopaminergic neurons. The X-linked G6PD gene encodes glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, an important regulator of stress. Recent studies suggested that alpha-synuclein aggregates may impair activity neuron loss, mutations independently increase the risk PD. In this study, we aimed examine role common rare variants PD across six cohorts including 8,905...
