Abstract

AbstractBackgroundHyposmia (loss of smell) is a common early symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The shared genetic architecture between hyposmia and PD is unknown.MethodsWe leveraged genome-wide association study (GWAS) results for self-assessment of ‘ability to smell’ and PD diagnosis. Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) and Local Analysis of [co]Variant Association (LAVA) were used to identify genome-wide and local genetic correlations. Mendelian randomization was used to identify potential causal relationships.ResultsLDSC found that sense of smell negatively correlated at a genome-wide level with PD. LAVA found negative correlations in four genetic loci nearGBA1, ANAPC4, SNCA, andMAPT. Using Mendelian randomization we found evidence for strong causal relationship between PD and liability towards poorer sense of smell, but weaker evidence for the reverse direction.ConclusionsHyposmia and PD share genetic liability in only a subset of the major PD risk genes. While there was definitive evidence that PD can lower the sense of smell, there was only suggestive evidence for the reverse. This work highlights the heritability of olfactory function and its relationship with PD heritability and provides further insight into the association between PD and hyposmia.
