Assessing the Accuracy of the NeuroBooster Array for GBA1 Variant Detection

This is an official announcement record

Firsthand records what medRxiv Preprints announced and links to the original. The wording below is theirs, not ours.

GBA1 variants are major Parkinson's disease risk factors, but their detection is challenging. We compared NeuroBooster Array (NBA) genotyping with reference sequencing in 3,744 individuals. NBA correctly identified 520/608 carriers (85.5%). Of 89 missed calls, 73 had no matching probe and 16 had missing calls. 25 participants had false positive calls. NBA should not be used alone for clinical decisions, but is very useful for case control analysis.
