a

Included both community controls and population controls; adjusted for sex, race, age, and sequencing platform. DESeq2 was used to perform the analysis.

b

Included both community controls and population controls; adjusted for sex, race, age, and sequencing platform and constipation status. DESeq2 was used to perform the analysis.

c

Included household controls only: PD patient and household control pair was treated as random effect. Adjusted for sex, race, age, and sequencing platform. MaAsLin2 was used to perform the analysis.

d

Included both community controls and population controls; adjusted for sex, race, age, and sequencing platform. MaAsLin2 was used to perform the analysis.

e

Coefficient indicates the difference in the log-transformed relative abundances between PD and Control.

f

This taxon was removed from the sensitivity analyses due to small cell count. Log2FC, Log2 fold change; SE, standard error; Adj, adjusted.
