Analysis of DNA methylation associates the cystine–glutamate antiporter SLC7A11 with risk of Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a complex etiology involving genetics and the environment. Here, Vallerga et al. identify two CpG probes associated with PD in a blood cell type-corrected epigenome-wide meta-analysis, implicating the SLC7A11 gene as a plausible bi...
