Reference SVA insertion polymorphisms are associated with Parkinson’s Disease progression and differential gene expression

Abstract The development of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies using extensive single nucleotide polymorphism datasets have identified many loci involved in disease. However much of the heritability of Parkins...
