A previous genome-wide association (GWA) meta-analysis of 12,386 PD cases and 21,026 controls conducted by the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium (IPDGC) discovered or confirmed 11 Parkinson's disease (PD) loci. This first analysis of the two-stage IPDGC study focused on the set of loci that passed genome-wide significance in the first stage GWA scan. However, the second stage genotyping array, the ImmunoChip, included a larger set of 1,920 SNPs selected on the basis of the GWA analysis. Here, we analyzed this set of 1,920 SNPs, and we identified five additional PD risk loci (combined p<5×10−10, PARK16/1q32, STX1B/16p11, FGF20/8p22, STBD1/4q21, and GPNMB/7p15). Two of these five loci have been suggested by previous association studies (PARK16/1q32, FGF20/8p22), and this study provides further support for these findings. Using a dataset of post-mortem brain samples assayed for gene expression (n = 399) and methylation (n = 292), we identified methylation and expression changes associated with PD risk variants in PARK16/1q32, GPNMB/7p15, and STX1B/16p11 loci, hence suggesting potential molecular mechanisms and candidate genes at these risk loci. This paper describes the largest case-control analysis of Parkinson's disease to date, with a combined sample set of over 12,000 cases and 21,000 controls. After combining our findings with an independent replication dataset of more than 3,000 cases and 29,000 controls, we found five additional PD risk loci in addition to the 11 loci previously identified in earlier consortium efforts. This successful study further demonstrates the power of the GWA scan experimental design to find new loci contributing to disease risk, even in the context of complex disorders like Parkinson's disease. These new findings provide insights into the etiology of PD and will promote a better understanding of its pathogenesis.
