The PLA2G6 gene has been identified as a causative gene for autosomal recessive early-onset dystonia-parkinsonism. Possible association was reported between single heterozygous PLA2G6 mutation and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD), which, however, remained inconclusive. To clarify the effect of heterozygous PLA2G6 variants on the risk of PD, a total of 3710 patients with PD and 2636 controls of Chinese mainland population were recruited and genotyped by whole-exome sequencing or whole-genome sequencing. Variants in the PLA2G6 coding region were extracted and subjected to burden analysis using the optimal sequence kernel association test. In total, we identified 86 rare heterozygous variants in the PLA2G6 coding region, whereas no significant difference was found between cases and controls. Therefore, we found no supportive evidence for heterozygous PLA2G6 variants being a risk factor for PD in Chinese mainland population.
