Mechanistic description

early PD proteogenomic hubs that are both causal enough and accessible enough to perturb should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is multi-omics network centrality, druggability scoring, interactome validation, and SNCA iPSC-neuron perturbation assays.
