Elucidating causative gene variants in hereditary Parkinson’s disease in the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2)

July 31, 2023

Sample Prioritization Working Group

View Article

The Monogenic Network of the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) aims to create an efficient infrastructure to accelerate the identification of novel genetic causes of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to improve our understanding of already identified genetic causes, such as reduced penetrance and variable clinical expressivity of known disease-causing variants. We aim to perform short- and long-read whole-genome sequencing for up to 10,000 patients with parkinsonism. Important features of this project are global involvement and focusing on historically underrepresented populations.

Sample Prioritization Working Group

The Sample Prioritization working group prioritizes samples based on the input from the monogenic portal.
