Fig. 1.
Parkinson’s disease GWAS candidate genes are expressed in glia. The figure demonstrates the relative expression of Parkinson’s disease GWAS candidate genes across glial subtypes using publicly available RNAseq data: Zhang Y, Sloan SA, Clarke LE, et al. Purification and functional characterization of human astrocytes. Neuron. 2016. Oligo. = oligodendrocytes. The diamond symbol (◆) indicates genes identified as likely expression quantitative loci by Nalls et al. Expression pattern for the human orthologs of the Drosophila genes further described in this manuscript are highlighted in red. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
