Genetic risk scores for Parkinson’s disease translate into precision medicine approach

An interdisciplinary team from the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) at the University of Luxembourg, together with international collaborators, established that a combination of small variations in genes regulating mitochondria, an important component of human cells, is associated with a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease. These results, recently published in Annals of Neurology, pave the way for intelligent clinical trial designs and will have a considerable impact on precision medicine for Parkinson’s disease.
