research Novel associations of VPS13C with phenotype and conversion of idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
The study investigates the role of VPS13C variants in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and their potential link to Parkinson's disease (PD). In a cohort of 150 iRBD and 180 α-synucleinopathy patients, VPS13C variants were found to be significantly enriched in iRBD patients, with 10 risk variants identified. Carriers of these variants exhibited more severe RBD symptoms and greater autonomic dysfunction, which correlated with abnormalities in REM sleep EEG and autonomic network activity. The findings highlight that VPS13C variants are specific to the iRBD-first α-synucleinopathy subtype and are associated with a faster progression to overt α-synucleinopathy, suggesting VPS13C as a marker for iRBD susceptibility and disease conversion.
