Target gene capture sequencing in Chinese population of sporadic Parkinson disease.

ABSTRACT: Deciphering of genetic variants plays a critical role in research and clinic of genetic disorders, such as the well known neurodegenerative disease Parkinson disease (PD). To combine pool of targeted genes and next-generation sequencing (NGS), investigators could obtain high efficient but low-cost sequencing data of interested genes. Aim to discover genetic variants that might contribute to PD, we selected 48 candidate genes involved in different pathways and conducted a pilot study to screen nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) in 4 pooled samples from 237 sporadic Chinese PD patients. Using our custom-designed NimbleGen array and Illumina HiSeq2000, a total of 4 novel nsSNPs (c. 352G>T in STK39, c. 823G>T in DGKQ, c. 36T>A in DLA-DRB5, and c. 1981G>T in GRN) were discovered but not validated by S
