In this episode, Igancio Mata, PhD, sat down to discuss a recently published meta-analysis on the genetic backgrounds of Parkinson disease beyond traditional European populations. Mata, an associate professor in the Genomic Medicine Institute at Cleveland Clinic, provided insight on the newly identified novel loci and how the data adds to previous genome-wide association studies. In addition, he gave thoughts on the possibility of gene therapy and some of the barriers that come with it, as well as the feasibility of incorporating genetic checkpoints into clinical trial inclusion criteria.
