  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), enactment of dreams during REM sleep, is an early clinical symptom of alpha-synucleinopathies and defines a more severe subtype. The genetic background of RBD and its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study of RBD, identifying five RBD risk loci near <jats:italic>SNCA, GBA, TMEM175, INPP5F, and SCARB2</jats:italic>. Expression analyses highlight <jats:italic>SNCA-AS1</jats:italic> and potentially <jats:italic>SCARB2</jats:italic> differential expression in different brain regions in RBD, with <jats:italic>SNCA-AS1</jats:italic> further supported by colocalization analyses. Polygenic risk score, pathway analysis, and genetic correlations provide further insights into RBD genetics, highlighting RBD as a unique alpha-synucleinopathy subpopulation that will allow future early intervention.</jats:p>
