Investigating the relationship between the SNCA gene and cognitive abilities in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease using machine learning

Abstract Cognitive impairments are prevalent in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the underlying mechanisms of their development are unknown. In this study, we aimed to predict global cognition (GC) in PD with machine learning (ML) using structural neuroimaging, genetics and clinical and demographic cha...
