  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective:</jats:title><jats:p>We studied the independent and joint effects of the genes encoding alpha‐synuclein (<jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic>) and microtubule‐associated protein tau (<jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic>) in Parkinson disease (PD) as part of a large meta‐analysis of individual data from case–control studies participating in the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO‐PD) consortium.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:</jats:title><jats:p>Participants of Caucasian ancestry were genotyped for a total of 4 <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic> (rs2583988, rs181489, rs356219, rs11931074) and 2 <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> (rs1052553, rs242557) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). Individual and joint effects of <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> SNPs were investigated using fixed‐ and random‐effects logistic regression models. Interactions were studied on both a multiplicative and an additive scale, and using a case–control and case‐only approach.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p>Fifteen GEO‐PD sites contributed a total of 5,302 cases and 4,161 controls. All 4 <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic> SNPs and the <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> H1‐haplotype–defining SNP (rs1052553) displayed a highly significant marginal association with PD at the significance level adjusted for multiple comparisons. For <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic>, the strongest associations were observed for SNPs located at the 3′ end of the gene. There was no evidence of statistical interaction between any of the 4 <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic> SNPs and rs1052553 or rs242557, neither on the multiplicative nor on the additive scale.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Interpretation:</jats:title><jats:p>This study confirms the association between PD and both <jats:italic>SNCA</jats:italic> SNPs and the H1 <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> haplotype. It shows, based on a variety of approaches, that the joint action of variants in these 2 loci is consistent with independent effects of the genes without additional interacting effects.
