International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium (IPDGC). ; [Background] Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with an often complex component identifiable by genome‐wide association studies. The most recent large‐scale PD genome‐wide association studies have identified more than 90 independent risk variants for PD risk and progression across more than 80 genomic regions. One major challenge in current genomics is the identification of the causal gene(s) and variant(s) at each genome‐wide association study locus. The objective of the current study was to create a tool that would display data for relevant PD risk loci and provide guidance with the prioritization of causal genes and potential mechanisms at each locus. ; [Methods] We included all significant genome‐wide signals from multiple recent PD genome‐wide association studies including themost recent PD risk genome‐wide association study, age‐at‐onset genome‐wide association study, progression genome‐wide association study, and Asian population PD risk genome‐wide association study. We gathered data for all genes 1 Mb up and downstream of each variant to allow users to assess which gene(s) are most associated with the variant of interest based on a set of self‐ranked criteria. Multiple databases were queried for each gene to collect additional causal data. ; [Results] We created a PD genome‐wide association study browser tool (https://pdgenetics.shinyapps.io/GWASBrowser/) to assist the PD research community with the prioritization of genes for follow‐up functional studies to identify potential therapeutic targets. ; [Conclusions] Our PD genome‐wide association study browser tool provides users with a useful method of identifying potential causal genes at all known PD risk loci from large‐scale PD genome‐wide association studies. We plan to update this tool with new relevant data as sample sizes increase and new PD risk loci are discovered. © 2020 The Authors.

Reproducibility in molecular and cellular studies is fundamental to scientific discovery. To establish the reproducibility of a well-defined long-term neuronal differentiation protocol, we repeated the cellular and molecular comparison of the same two iPSC lines across five distinct laboratories. Despite uncovering acceptable variability within individual laboratories, we detect poor cross-site reproducibility of the differential gene expression signature between these two lines. Factor analysis identifies the laboratory as the largest source of variation along with several variation-inflating confounders such as passaging effects and progenitor storage. Single-cell transcriptomics shows substantial cellular heterogeneity underlying inter-laboratory variability and being responsible for biases in differential gene expression inference. Factor analysis-based normalization of the combined dataset can remove the nuisance technical effects, enabling the execution of robust hypothesis-generating studies. Our study shows that multi-center collaborations can expose systematic biases and identify critical factors to be standardized when publishing novel protocols, contributing to increased cross-site reproducibility. ; Initiative Joint Undertaking under grant agreement no. 115439, resources of which are composed of financial contribution from the European Union's Seventh Framework Program (FP7/2007-2013) and EFPIA companies' in kind contribution.
