BackgroundParkinsons disease (PD) and schizophrenia (SZ), while clinically distinct, exhibit overlapping symptoms and neurobiological features. Emerging genetic evidence suggests a shared heritable component between the two disorders. In this study, we aim to identify novel genetic loci common to both PD and SZ and to further investigate the convergent molecular mechanisms that may underlie their shared pathophysiology. MethodsWe analyzed large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on SZ...
