Description

While DJ-1 deficiency affects gut microbiome and metabolites, the causal pathway from these gut changes to neurodegeneration in the brain remains unclear. This represents a critical missing link in understanding gut-brain axis contributions to PD pathogenesis.

Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: DJ-1 (Park7) affects the gut microbiome, metabolites and the development of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). (None, None, PMID:32999308)
