Background: The first large-scale meta-analysis of published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) identified 5 new genetic loci (ACMSD, STK39, MCCC1/LAMP3, SYT11, and CCDC62/HIP1R). Very recently, a large-scale replication and heterogeneity study also reported that STK39 and CCDC62/HIP1R increased risk of PD in Asian and Caucasian populations. However, their roles still remain unclear in a Han Chinese population from mainland China.
Methods: We examined genetic associations of STK39 rs2102808 and CCDC62/HIP1R rs12817488 with PD susceptibility in a Han Chinese population of 783 PD patients and 725 controls. We also performed further stratified analyses by the age of onset and accomplished in-depth clinical characteristics analyses between the different genotypes for each locus.
Results: No significant differences were observed in the minor allele frequency (MAF) among cases and controls at the two loci (STK39 rs2102808: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.91, 1.23, P = 0.467; CCDC62/HIP1R rs12817488: OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.76, 1.01, P = 0.072). Subgroup analyses by the age of onset also showed no significant differences among different subgroups of the two loci. In addition, minor allele carriers cannot be distinguished from non-carriers based on their clinical features at the two loci.
Conclusions: We are unable to demonstrate the association between STK39 and CCDC62/HIP1R and PD susceptibility in a Han Chinese population from mainland China. Additional replication studies in other populations and functional studies are warranted to better validate the role of the two new loci in PD risk.

With the completion of the Human Genome Project, GWAS have been widely used in exploring the genetic studies of complex diseases. A meta-analysis of datasets from five Parkinson's disease GWAS from the USA and Europe found 11 loci that surpassed the threshold for genome-wide significance (p<5×10(-8)), and five were newly identified loci (ACMSD, STK39, MCCC1/LAMP3, SYT11 and CCDC62/HIP1R). Another GWAS of the Ashkenazi Jewish population also identified loci in STK39 and LAMP3.

Article Synopsis
- Genome-wide association studies have identified new risk factors for sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), and larger studies have expanded these findings.
- A case-control study in Scandinavia analyzed data from 1345 PD patients and 1225 controls, focusing on 22 loci previously linked to PD.
- The study successfully replicated 11 association signals, including some newly nominated loci, while some established loci did not show significant results, highlighting the need for further research into the biological implications of these findings.

More than 800 published genetic association studies have implicated dozens of potential risk loci in Parkinson's disease (PD). To facilitate the interpretation of these findings, we have created a dedicated online resource, PDGene, that comprehensively collects and meta-analyzes all published studies in the field. A systematic literature screen of -27,000 articles yielded 828 eligible articles from which relevant data were extracted.

Background: To date, nine Parkinson disease (PD) genome-wide association studies in North American, European and Asian populations have been published. The majority of studies have confirmed the association of the previously identified genetic risk factors, SNCA and MAPT, and two studies have identified three new PD susceptibility loci/genes (PARK16, BST1 and HLA-DRB5). In a recent meta-analysis of datasets from five of the published PD GWAS an additional 6 novel candidate genes (SYT11, ACMSD, STK39, MCCC1/LAMP3, GAK and CCDC62/HIP1R) were identified.
