Abstract
Objective: To examine the associations of LRRK2 p.G2019S, GBA1 p.N409S, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and APOE E4 on PD penetrance, risk, and symptoms.
Methods: We conducted a US-based observational case-control study using data from the 23andMe Inc. and Fox Insight Genetic Substudy (FIGS) databases. The total cohort included 7,586,842 participants (n = 35,163 PD); 8791 LRRK2 p.G2019S carriers (565 with PD), 37,427 GBA1 p.N409S carriers (524 with PD), 244 dual LRRK2/GBA1 carriers (37 with PD), and 7.5 million noncarriers (34,037 with PD). PRS was calculated from the most recently published European genome-wide association study. Survival models estimated the cumulative incidence of PD. Logistic regressions estimated the relative odds of reporting motor and non-motor symptoms according to genetic exposure.
Results: By the age of 80 years, the cumulative incidence of PD was 30% for dual carriers, 24% for LRRK2 p.G2019S carriers, 4% for GBA1 p.N409S carriers, and 2% for noncarriers. Higher PRS was associated with increased penetrance of the variants and earlier time to PD diagnosis. GBA1 p.N409S PD was associated with the highest burden of non-motor symptoms, including REM sleep behavior disorder and cognitive/memory deficits, and LRRK2 p.G2019S with the lowest. APOE E4 dosage was associated with greater odds of reporting hallucinations and cognitive impairment in addition to carrier status.
Interpretation: Our findings support the use of genetic screening to enrich candidate selection for neuroprotective trials and better define outcome measures based on genetics.
