Based on our methodological workflow (e.g., restricted to genes reported more than once in the GWAS catalog and genes annotated to the Mus musculus and Homo sapiens synapse GO term), we identified the gene coding for N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor, vesicle-fusing ATPase (NSF) as both a suggestive candidate gene for Parkinson’s disease and a PANX1-interacting protein. The gene discussed is PANX1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
