New preprint!

[Ryan Dhindsa @RyanDhindsa]

Excited to share our latest pre-print, led by @al_han1, where we show that greater genetic diversity, rather than sample size alone, improving the accuracy of genetic intolerance metrics

Check out our new preprint! A description of a novel risk gene for Parkinson's disease!

I have learned so much from working with scientists from all backgrounds on this project.

[Ryan Dhindsa @RyanDhindsa]

Excited to share our latest paper, where we describe ITSN1 as a novel risk gene for Parkinson's disease!

We found that rare loss-of-function variants are associated with a 10-fold increased odds of PD. As far as we know, this is the largest effect size reported for sporadic PD to date
