Abstract
A genetic variant specific to people of African ancestry increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson disease (PD). This variant occurs in a noncoding region and interferes with the splicing of mRNA transcripts, resulting in lowered protein levels and activity. This work reveals a novel therapeutic target in an underserved and underrepresented population.
期刊介绍：
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
