Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is an early feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Damaging coding variants in Glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) are a genetic risk factor for RBD. Recently, a population-specific non-coding risk variant (rs3115534) was found to be associated with PD risk and earlier onset in individuals of African ancestry. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether the GBA1 rs3115534 PD risk variant is associated with RBD in persons with PD. METHODS: We studied 709 persons with PD and 776 neurologically healthy controls from Nigeria. All DNA samples were genotyped and imputed, and the GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant was extracted. The RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) was used to assess symptoms of possible RBD. RESULTS: RBD was present in 200 PD (28.2%) and 51 (6.6%) controls. We identified that the non-coding GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant is associated with possible RBD in individuals of Nigerian origin (β, 0.3640; standard error [SE], 0.103, P = 4.093e-04), as well as in all samples after adjusting for PD status (β, 0.2542; SE, 0.108; P = 0.019) suggesting that although non-coding, this variant may have the same downstream consequences as GBA1 coding variants. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the non-coding GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant is associated with an increasing number of RBD symptoms in persons with PD of Nigerian origin. Further research is needed to assess if this variant is also associated with polysomnography-defined RBD and with RBD symptoms in DLB. © 2024 The Authors.
