Genetic insights from Parkinson disease in African and African admixed populations
Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 02 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01177-5Emerging genomic studies across Africa are revealing how decades of population bias have constrained understanding of disease mechanisms. New evidence in Parkinson disease genetics illustrates how overlooking Africa’s vast genetic diversity not only limits scientific insight but also slows the development of medical and biotechnological innovations that are vital for advancing global health.
