Abstract

ABSTRACT: Background: As gene-targeted therapies are increasingly being developed for Parkinson’s disease (PD), identifying and characterizing carriers of specific genetic pathogenic variants is imperative. Only a small fraction of the estimated number of subjects with monogenic PD worldwide are currently represented in the literature and availability of clinical data and clinical trialready cohorts is limited. Objective: The objectives are to (1) establish an international cohort of affected and unaffected individuals with PD-linked variants; (2) provide harmonized and qualitycontrolled clinical characterization data for each included individual; and (3) further promote collaboration of researchers in the field of monogenic PD. Methods: We conducted a worldwide, systematic online survey to collect individual-level data on individuals with PD-linked variants in SNCA, LRRK2, VPS35, PRKN, PINK1, DJ-1, as well as selected pathogenic and risk variants in GBA and corresponding demographic, clinical, and genetic data. All registered cases underwent thorough quality checks, and pathogenicity scoring of the variants and genotype–phenotype relationships were analyzed. Results: We collected 3888 variant carriers for our analyses, reported by 92 centers (42 countries) worldwide. Of the included individuals, 3185 had a diagnosis of PD (ie, 1306 LRRK2, 115 SNCA, 23 VPS35, 429 PRKN, 75 PINK1, 13 DJ-1, and 1224 GBA) and 703 were unaffected (ie, 328 LRRK2, 32 SNCA, 3 VPS35, 1 PRKN, 1 PINK1, and 338 GBA). In total, we identified 269 different pathogenic variants; 1322 individuals in our cohort (34%) were indicated as not previously published. Conclusions: Within the MJFF Global Genetic PD Study Group, we (1) established the largest international cohort of affected and unaffected individuals carrying PD-linked variants; (2) provide harmonized and quality-controlled clinical and genetic data for each included individual; (3) promote collaboration in the field of genetic PD with a view toward clinical and genetic stratification of patients for gene-targeted clinical trials. © 2023 The Authors.

Of the included individuals, 3185 had a diagnosis of PD (ie, 1306 LRRK2,115SNCA,23VPS35,429PRKN, 75 PINK1,13DJ-1, and 1224 GBA)and703were unaffected (ie, 328 LRRK2,32SNCA,3VPS35, 1PRKN,1PINK1, and 338 GBA). In total, we identified 269 different pathogenic variants; 1322 individuals in our cohort (34%) were indicated as not previously published. Conclusions:Within the MJFF Global Genetic PD Study Group, we (1) established the largest international cohort of affected and unaffected individuals carrying PD-linked variants; (2) provide harmonized and quality-controlled clinical and genetic data for each included individual; (3) promote collaboration in the field of genetic PD with a view toward clinical and genetic stratification of patients for gene-targeted clinical trials. © 2023 The Authors. Movement Disorders published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. Key Words: Parkinson’s disease; monogenic PD Rapidly advancing sequencing technologies offer new and cost-effective approaches to increasingly define genetic subtypes of common diseases. An illustrative example is Parkinson’s disease (PD) that can be genetically stratified into subgroups of patients with well-established, albeit individually rare, genetic forms of PD. These are due to pathogenic variants in LRRK2,SNCA,VPS35,PRKN,PINK1, DJ-1,andGBA, the latter acting as the strongest known genetic risk factor of PD. 1 As a relatively common disease with only up to 10% accounting for genetic subtypes, 2 PD is not considered a hereditary disorder per se. As genetic testing is not a commonorevenstandardelement of the diagnostic workup due to the absence of gene-specific therapies, it is currently most often performed in a research setting. However, scientific interest in publications on clinical-genetic screening studies of well-established PD genes is continuously declining, whereas the advent of first gene-targeted therapies 3,4 immediately calls for well-characterized clinical trial-ready cohorts of variant carriers. To address the lack of systematic data resources on monogenic PD, our team established the Movement Disorder Society Genetic Mutation Database (MDSGene, www.mdsgene.org). Although the actual number of PD patients with a genetic cause is estimated at 650,000, ie, 10% of the 0.65 million PD patients worldwide, 2,5 only a small fraction (n =2120) of monogenic PD patients with individual patient information are contained in the international medical literature published in the English language. Availability of quantitative clinical data is limited, and there is a strong focus on motor symptoms and on select ethnicities in the literature. 6,7 However, frequency, clinical expression, and penetrance of genetic variants may vary considerably across different populations and ethnicities. 8 For example, a landmark study comparing patients with the same pathogenic variant in LRRK2 in a Norwegian and a Tunisian sample revealed a much higher proportion of affected variant carriers among the Tunisians than the Norwegians at a 60-year age cut-off. Knowing, understanding, and considering these population-specificfactors facilitate the composition of study samples tailored to specific research questions or clinical trials. The MDSGene resource served to systematically identify researchers following monogenic PD patients, 98% of whom expressed interest to jointly build up the MJFF Global Monogenic PD Study Group 8 to address the following aims: (1) establish an international cohort of individuals with PD-linked variants; (2) provide harmonized and quality-controlled clinical characterization data for each included individual; (3) further promote the collaboration of researchers in the field of monogenic PD with a view toward demographic, clinical, and genetic stratification of patients for gene-targeted clinical trials. 290 Movement Disorders, Vol. 38, No. 2, 2023 VOLLSTEDT ET AL 15318257, 2023, 2, Downloaded from https://movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mds.29288 by Universidad De Sevilla, Wiley Online Library on [05/02/2024]. See the Terms and Conditions (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/terms-and-conditions) on Wiley Online Library for rules of use; OA articles are governed by the applicable Creative Commons License Patients and Methods Data Collection Process To collect individual-level data on the patients that had been reported to us in the first phase of the MJFF Global Genetic PD Project, 9 we developed an online survey. We focused on carriers of variants in genes associated with monogenic PD (LRRK2,SNCA, VPS35,PRKN,PINK1,DJ-1), but also included variants in the strongest genetic risk factor for PD, ie, GBA. Variants in other PD-linked genes were not included in the analyses (Appendix S1: Table 1). We collected detailed genetic information alongside demographic data, disease status, pedigrees, motor scales, nonmotor scales, risk factors, and medication (31 items, Appendix S1: Table 2). All members of the MJFF Global Genetic PD Study Group were invited to participate, and new members were included upon recommendation or request. The survey was open from October 2018 to March 2019, including two rounds of reminders and additional customized extensions of the deadline upon request by several study centers. After 1 year, from September to October 2020, we reopened the survey for its first annual update and invited members of the study group to update their data and to add newly identified individuals with PD-linked variants. An important part of the data collection process was the communication with study centers to keep them informed about the project, to address any questions regarding the survey, and to ensure a high quality of the collected data. Nomenclature The nomenclature of the genes follows the recommendations of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (www.genenames.org) with the exception of PARK7 that we refer to as DJ-1. Variants are annotated corresponding to the following transcript IDs: LRRK2: NM_198578.3, SNCA: NM_000345.3, VPS35: NM_018206.5, PRKN: NM_004562.2, PINK1: NM_032409.2, DJ-1: NM_001123377.1, GBA: NM_000157.3. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria All registered variant carriers underwent thorough quality checks regarding both clinical and genetic data (Fig. 1). The mandatory minimal data set for eligible samples comprised information on the genetic variant, sex, disease status, and age at onset. In case of any missing or contradictory information, we asked the submitting researcher for clarification. Duplicate submissions and samples with an unresolved clinical or genetic status were excluded from further analyses. Variants in LRRK2,SNCA,VPS35,PRKN,PINK1, and DJ-1 were excluded if they had a minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥1% based on the ethnicity with the maximal MAF in the gnomAD Browser v.2.1.1 (https:// gnomad.broadinstitute.org), dbSNP (http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/snp/). Individuals with pathogenic variants in more than one PD gene were excluded, but those harboring an additional known risk variant in LRRK2 (p.R1628P) or GBA (p.R83C, p.E365K, p.T408M, p.N409S, p.L483P, p.V499L, p.R535H) were included in our analyses. For GBA, we only included the four most frequent variants (p.E365K, p.T408M, p. N409S, p.L483P). Although p.N409S and p.L483P are considered pathogenic variants due to their causal link to Gaucher’s disease and are rare (<0.5% globally according to gnomAD), p.E365K and p.T408M are classified as PD risk variants with a global MAF of >0.5%. 10 Analyses for GBA exclude digenic variant carriers; that is, all included individuals have been reported to carry one variant in GBA only.

See the Terms and Conditions (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/terms-and-conditions) on Wiley Online Library for rules of use; OA articles are governed by the applicable Creative Commons License Pathogenicity Scoring Variants of eligible individuals underwent pathogenicity scoring. The presumed pathogenicity of a genetic variant was taken from MDSGene for previously scored variants or assessed using MDSGene criteria, 6 (https://mdsgene.org/methods). The score is based on four items, including information on segregation, variant frequency in patients and controls, in-silico prediction using the Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) score (http://cadd.gs.washington. edu/), and functional evidence extracted from published in-vitro and in-vivo studies. Based on these categories, a pathogenicity score was devised, and variants were classified as definitely pathogenic, probably pathogenic, possibly pathogenic, or benign. 6 The MDSGene pathogenicity scoring was designed for causative, monogenic causes but is not applicable to variants with an MAF >1% such as risk variants in GBA. Statistical Analyses All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0.0.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY). For median values, the interquartile range (IQR) is displayed in parentheses. Results The MJFF Global Genetic PD Cohort To establish the cohort, we contacted researchers from 232 centers all over the world and obtained data from 92 centers in 42 countries. In total, 5571 cases were registered in our database, of whom 3888 were included in our analyses (1683 cases were excluded; for details, see Fig. 1). Of these, 3175 had PD (ie, 1306 LRRK2, 115 SNCA, 23 VPS35, 429 PRKN,75PINK1,3DJ-1, and 1224 GBA) and 703 were unaffected individuals (ie, 328 LRRK2,32SNCA,3VPS35,1PRKN,1PINK1, and 338 GBA). These numbers exclude monoallelic carriers of variants in PRKN (PD: n =217, unaffected: n=89), PINK1 (PD: n =56, unaffected: n =45), and DJ-1 (PD: n =4, unaffected: n =3). Forty-four individuals carried pathogenic variants in other genes linked to forms of parkinsonism or related movement disorders (Appendix S1: Table 1). Individuals originated from 65 countries worldwide (Fig. 2A), and the predominant ethnicity was white (90%) (Fig. 2B). The break-up of centers per continent is as follows: Europe: n =48; Asia: n =15; North America: n =13; South America: n =8; Australia: n =3; Africa: n =2 (Fig. 3A). About 75% of the world population (5.9 billion) inhabits the countries of origin included in our cohort, whereas the countries of 25% of the world population (2 billion individuals) are not yet represented in the MJFF Global Genetic PD Cohort (Fig. 3B). Data Completeness Per inclusion criteria, basic data such as age at onset were complete for all participants. Availability of clinical data across the cohort ranged from more basic features (77% for disease duration) to more complex assessment of nonmotor symptoms (41% for cognition). Motor scales were available for 51% (MDSUPDRS or UPDRS) and 47% (Hoehn and Yahr Stage) of the individuals with PD, respectively. Information on medication was reported for 60% of the sample, and risk factor data (smoking, caffeine) were available for a subset (20%) of individuals. Gene-Specific Findings The median age at onset of PD was younger in individuals with variants in recessively inherited genes than in those with variants in dominantly inherited genes and GBA (Fig. 4and Appendix S1: Tables 4–6). Gene-specificfindings for dominantly (LRRK2, SNCA,VPS35) and recessively inherited genes (PRKN, PINK1,DJ-1) and GBA are summarized in the following paragraphs (Appendix S1: Tables 4–8; Supplementary Information 1–10; Figs. 7–49): For details on the genetic spectrum, see Appendix S1: Figures 1–6. LRRK2 A total of 1308 individuals with PD (50% women) and 328 unaffected individuals (54% women) with variants in LRRK2 were registered. Most participants were white (93%), including individuals who identify as Berber (20%) and Ashkenazi Jewish (17%). The most common countries of origin were Tunisia (20%), Spain (14%), and Israel (11%). The median age at onset of PD was 57 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 48–65 years) with a predominantly late onset (>40 years, n =1167, 89%) and only a small fraction of patients with an early onset (20–40 years, n=141, 11%). The median disease duration at the time of inclusion was 8 years (4–14, 9% missing data). Fortyeight percent of the individuals with PD and 89% of unaffected individuals reported a family history of PD. SNCA We obtained data on 147 individuals with variants in SNCA (115 with PD [52% women], 32 unaffected [56% women]). The majority were white (97%), and 45% originated from Greece. The median age at onset was 45 years (IQR: 38–52 years), and most patients had a late onset of PD (>40 years, n =79, 69%), but early onset was also reported (20– 40 years, n =36, 31%). The median disease duration at the time of inclusion was 6 years (IQR: 3–9 years, 12% missing data). Eighty-nine percent of the PD cases and 100% of the unaffected individuals reported a family history of PD. 292 Movement Disorders, Vol. 38, No. 2, 2023 VOLLSTEDT ET AL 15318257, 2023, 2, Downloaded from https://movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mds.29288 by Universidad De Sevilla, Wiley Online Library on [05/02/2024].

PRKN Our cohort includes 646 individuals with PD (50% women) and 90 unaffected individuals (51% women) with variants in PRKN. Of these, 431 patients carried biallelic variants and were included in the following analyses. Seventy-eight percent were white, and the most commonly reported countries of origin were France (23%) and Italy (12%). The median age at onset of PD was 32 (IQR: 23–38 years), and most patients had an early onset (20–40 years, n =283, 65.5%); late onset was reported for 80 patients (>40 years, 18.5%), whereas 68 had a juvenile onset (<20 years, 16%).
