Sample prioritization
The Sample Prioritization Group is co-led by
Prof. Christine Klein and Dr. Kishore Raj Kumar.
Our goal is to prioritize samples for the Monogenic Hub
in a manner that is fair and democratic.

We are prioritizing cases where a monogenic cause
is strongly suspected. Multiple factors will be considered, including prior genetic testing with a negative result, number of affected samples available per family, availability of samples from both non-affected parents, age at Parkinson's disease (PD) onset and consanguinity. We are using scoring criteria with this aim in mind.
As a guide, a link to the table used for prioritization
scoring can be found here.
By focusing on samples with a high chance of a monogenic cause, we hope to increase the likelihood of discovering new Parkinson's disease genes. We also hope to gather samples from across the world and include patients
from underrepresented populations. We would like to encourage you to submit samples and welcome any questions about the sample prioritization process - please feel free to contact us with your queries.

Prioritization criteria for WGS
We are prioritizing cases of Parkinson's disease
for whole genome sequencing where a monogenic etiology is strongly suspected.
We will consider the following criteria:
Sample availability and number of affected family members

Pedigree structure

History of consanguinity

Age at onset

Availability of previous genetic testing results
For example, we will prioritize families with a younger age at onset, multiple affected family members with available samples,
and those patients who have had a gene panel, exome sequencing
or MLPA testing that was negative for known genetic causes of PD
.

for WGS sample prioritization
*: Africa, Latin America/Caribe, Native Americans/Oceania, Middle East and non-East Asians
Each patient/family is reviewed by two independent reviewers. Reviewers are blinded to the origin
of the patients/families. If scores are highly discrepant,
a third reviewer is asked to provide a score
for adjudication. Lastly, all scores are given to two reviewers not previously involved in the scoring process who will be asked to rank the submitted families/cases.
In order to ensure as fair and democratic a process as possible and to select
the most promising families, sample prioritization is undertaken by a panel of reviewers including GP2 members.
