This was cut down from a brief report because we only had data on the first ~185 subjects. In brief, we show that those deemed to be at higher risk, according to early non-motor features and risk factors, were significantly more likely to carry variants in the GBA gene compared to those at lower risk. This supports the notion that the algorithm enriches for Parkinson's risk.
