Lower SLC30A3 expression was strongly associated with impaired synaptic plasticity (long-term potentiation, long-term depression, calcium signaling pathway, and axon guidance), mitochondrial dysfunction (the citrate cycle and oxidative phosphorylation), and pathways common to major neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, AD, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). The gene discussed is SLC30A3; the disease is Parkinson disease.
