Mechanistic description

DPP6-linked neuronal regulatory networks controlling synaptic excitability and cognitive resilience in PD should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is cell-type eQTL colocalization, enhancer perturbation, and prodromal PD single-nucleus validation in hippocampal and prefrontal neurons.

Mechanism / pathway

  1. DPP6
  2. neurodegeneration

Evidence for (1)

  • DPP6 was identified as a novel PD cognitive-decline risk gene; the paper noted that functional validation and cell-type-specific mechanisms remain uncharacterised.

    GWAS Identifies DPP6 as Risk Gene of Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease

Evidence against (1)

  • the GWAS signal may tag a nearby regulatory locus rather than DPP6 itself
