When analyzed separately, the HC group demonstrated a moderate significant correlation (r = 0.5781, P = 0.0095), whereas the PD group showed a weaker, non-significant correlation (r = 0.3497, P = 0.0519) (Fig. 3F), indicating that the increased Miro1 retention observed in PD is not an AAS effect. This evidence concerns the gene RHOT1 and Parkinson disease.
