PD, Parkinson's disease; NL, the Netherlands; N/A, not applicable.

All variant frequencies are given in percentages. Sweden and Russia performed selective sequencing. France is a European study, with 89% of subjects from France. North Africa is primarily Algeria, but also Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya.
