April 22, 2026

The Global Parkinson's Disease Genetics ( GP2 ) Genome Browser

Key Points

To introduce the GP2 Genome Browser as a resource for Parkinson's Disease genomic data.
Developed a lightweight, flexible genome browser for gene and variant analysis.
Included ancestry-stratified allele frequencies and functional annotations in the platform.
Made the platform open source and accessible to the public.
Provides intuitive summaries for genes and variants related to Parkinson's Disease.
Supports global research by making genomic data freely available.
Enhances understanding of genetic factors in Parkinson's Disease through detailed functional annotations.

Abstract

The GP2 Genome Browser is a lightweight, flexible platform providing intuitive gene- and variant-level summaries with ancestry-stratified allele frequencies and functional annotations. It is open source and freely accessible at https://gp2.broadinstitute.org, enabling broad access to PD genomic data and supporting global research efforts. © 2026 The Author(s).
