Toward a phenome-wide view of Parkinson's disease
medRxiv(2022)
摘要
Background and Objectives: Many studies have examined the relation between PD and environmental variables serially --- one candidate association at a time. In the real world however, both environmental exposures and patients are much more complex, including correlated environmental exposures, polypharmacy, and complex comorbidities. Here we begin to characterize a holistic view of environmental, health, and pharmacological traits linked to patients with PD. Methods: The Harvard Biomarkers Study (HBS) is a large case-control study of PD patients and healthy controls that includes an extensive questionnaire covering past medical and social history data and is thus well-suited for such an exploratory study. Sixty-four environmental, pharmacological, and clinical features were evaluated for associations with PD using logistic regression analysis with backward elimination. Results: Male gender, coronary artery disease, depression, anxiety, restless leg syndrome, head trauma, ibuprofen use, co-enzyme Q10 use, and vitamin D supplementation were significantly positively associated with PD. By contrast, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), naproxen, ezetimibe, and smoking were significantly negatively associated with PD. Discussion: This study shows that unbiased, data-rich exploration of the Parkinson phenome has the promise to uncover, prioritize, and clarify associations between environment, multi-system health phenotypes, and PD in a patient-centric manner. Associations with coronary artery disease, mood disorders, and the cholesterol-absorption inhibitor ezetimibe were revealed that have been largely neglected in traditional hypothesis-driven investigations. Interestingly, asthma/COPD was inversely associated with PD, and this was independent of smoking history. Furthermore, well-established associations were confirmed for male gender, smoking, head trauma, and restless legs syndrome.
