The Foundational data initiative for Parkinson’s disease (FOUNDIN-PD): enabling efficient translation from genetic maps to mechanism
Preprint
Abstract
The FOUNdational Data INitiative for Parkinson’s Disease (FOUNDIN-PD) is an international collaboration producing fundamental resources for Parkinson’s disease (PD). FOUNDIN-PD generated a multi-layered molecular dataset in a cohort of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines differentiated to dopaminergic (DA) neurons, a major affected cell type in PD. The lines were derived from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative study including participants with PD carrying monogenic PD ( SNCA ) variants, variants with intermediate effects and variants identified by genome-wide association studies and unaffected individuals. We generated genetic, epigenetic, regulatory, transcriptomic, and longitudinal cellular imaging data from iPSC-derived DA neurons to understand molecular relationships between disease associated genetic variation and proximate molecular events. These data reveal that iPSC-derived DA neurons provide a valuable cellular context and foundational atlas for modelling PD genetic risk. We have integrated these data into a FOUNDIN-PD data browser ( https://www.foundinpd.org ) as a resource for understanding the molecular pathogenesis of PD.Keywords
