Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique to measure retinal layer thickness, providing insights into retinal ganglion cell integrity. Studies have shown reduced retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, it is unclear if there is a common genetic overlap between the macula and peripapillary estimates with PD and if the genetic risk of PD is associated with changes in ganglion cell integrity estimates in young adults.
