Regulation of mitophagy by the NSL complex underlies genetic risk for Parkinson’s disease at 16q11.2 and MAPT H1 loci
Impaired mitophagy is linked to familial PD. New study identifies KAT8 and KANSL1 as regulators of PINK1-dependent mitophagy, suggesting their role in idiopathic Parkinson’s. KANSL1 may be crucial in the disease, offering potential drug targets.
