Participants underwent 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging, and we assessed the degree centrality, brain network topology, and cortical thickness of the healthy control (HC) (n = 25), PD‐high‐GDNF (n = 19), and PD‐low‐GDNF (n = 19) groups using graph‐theoretic measures of resting‐state functional MRI to reveal how much brain connectivity varies and its clinical correlates, as well as to determine factors predicting the cognitive status in PD. The gene discussed is GDNF; the disease is Parkinson disease.
