An author correction published by Sun, Schulte, Gasser, and colleagues in npj Parkinson’s Disease updates the refined genetic associations tied to Parkinson’s disease susceptibility. The correction spotlights gene links involving TMEM175, SCARB2, and CTSB, tightening how these loci are interpreted in the context of disease risk. For researchers building downstream target hypotheses or validating genetic signals, even post-publication edits can change what counts as a robust association—particularly when signals are close to statistical thresholds or depend on variant-level annotations.
