GPNMB is a biomarker for lysosomal dysfunction and is secreted via LRRK2-modulated lysosomal exocytosis

*GPNMB* is linked to Parkinson's Disease as a risk factor, affecting its transcription and protein levels in CSF. Macrophages secrete GPNMB in response to lysosomal stress through lysosomal exocytosis, with LRRK2 influencing its secretion.

Evaluation Of The Rims2 Locus As A Risk Locus For Parkinson’s Disease Dementia

Liu et al. found RIMS2 locus linked to dementia in Parkinson's disease. Our study with 2536 individuals found no association with RIMS2 or other loci. More research is needed to uncover biological factors influencing Parkinson's dementia.

Long-read RNA seq analysis using Talon

This is a pipeline that takes fastq data as input, generates fastq stats using nanostat, performs fastq processing and filtering using pychopper, maps the reads to the genome using minimap2, and uses talon to assemble and quantify transcripts.
