Parkinsons disease genetics remain under-characterized in East Asians. We recruited a Taiwanese case-control cohort (2,245 PD; 2,147 controls), genotyped on the Illumina NeuroBooster Array, and imputed 7.6 million variants using the Taiwan Biobank reference. Logistic-regression GWAS identified genome-wide significant signals at SNCA and MCCC1; we also observed suggestive associations at GCH1, PPARGC1A and GALNT13. Haplotype analyses delineated an East Asian SNCA risk haplotype and confirmed effe...
