Although a significant genetic contribution to the risk of developing sporadic Parkinson's disease has been well described, the relationship between local genetic factors, pathogenesis, and subsequent spread of pathology throughout the brain has been largely unexplained in humans. To address this question, we use network diffusion modelling to infer probable pathology seed regions and patterns of disease spread from MRI atrophy maps derived from 232 de novo subjects in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative study. Allen Brain Atlas regional transcriptional profiles of 67 Parkinson's disease risk factor genes were mapped to the inferred seed regions to determine the local influence of genetic risk factors. We used hierarchical clustering and L-1 regularized regression analysis to show that transcriptional profiles of immune-related and lysosomal risk factor genes predict seed region location and the pattern of disease propagation from the most likely seed region, substantia nigra. By leveraging recent advances in transcriptomics, we show that regional microglial abundance quantified by high fidelity gene expression also predicts seed region location. These findings suggest that early disease sites are genetically susceptible to dysfunctional lysosomal alpha-synuclein processing and microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, which may initiate the disease process and contribute to spread of pathology along neural connectivity pathways.
