Long time in the works, new multi-ancestry Parkinson's meta-GWAS.
12 potential novel risk loci, some analyses of heterogeneity across populations and fine-mapping for 6 known loci.

Had a great time at the @IRBD_StudyGroup meeting at @TheNeuro_MNI over the past 3 days. High quality presentations and discussions from current and future legends in the field! Great job @ZivGanOr@ShadyRahayel Ron Postuma and other local organizers on the successful meeting,!
Thank you to the International RBD study group for the honour of inviting me to present some of my work at @TheNeuro_MNI@mcgillu in Montréal this week. It has been an amazing conference packed with advances, debates and making new friends and I am already looking forward to the next iteration!
This man is one of my heroes, from my childhood as Marty McFly, and my adulthood as the single most influential person in Parkinson’s disease research and care. Without @realmikefox and the @MichaelJFoxOrg that he established, we would be years behind. Happy belated birthday!
Britanny Dugan, another winner of yhe junior awards for best presentation, is talking about her research on different a-synuclein species in RBD, PD and MSA.
Kicked off the last day of the IRBDGC meeting with awards for the three top presentations/posters by junior members, given to @Senkkon1, Russell Luke and Brittany Dugan. Congratulations!
Great second day of the IRBDSG meeting yesterday! Lots of great talks, followed by a nice walk through the McGill campus, great music in the st. James church, and a nice dinner to end the night. Looking forward to our last day!
We had a great talk by Dr. Elena Antelmi on trial-ready populations, in which she detailed the amazing work done in Italy to have a well-defined, nation-wide trial ready RBD cohort.
