RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence has shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is part of the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants on PD onset is unclear. OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to evaluate the effect of mtDNA variants and haplogroups on risk of developing PD. METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating associations between PD and mtDNA variants and haplogroups. RESULTS: A total of 33 studies were eligible from 957 screened studies. Among 13,640 people with PD and 22,588 control individuals, the association with PD was consistently explored in 13 mtDNA variants in 10 genes and 19 macrohaplogroups. Four mtDNA variants were associated with PD: m.4336C (odds ratio [OR] = 2.99; 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.79-5.02), m.7028T (OR = 0.80; 95 % CI = 0.70-0.91), m.10398G (OR = 0.92; 95 % CI = 0.85-0.98), and m.13368A (OR = 0.74; 95 % CI = 0.56-0.98). Four mtDNA macrohaplogroups were associated with PD: R (OR = 2.25; 95 % CI = 1.92-2.65), F (OR = 1.18; 95 % CI = 1.01-1.38), H (OR = 1.12; 95 % CI = 1.06-1.18), and B (OR = 0.77; 95 % CI = 0.65-0.92). CONCLUSIONS: Despite most studies may be underpowered by the underrepresentation of people without dominant European- and Asian-ancestry, low use of next-generation sequencing for genotyping and small sample sizes, the identification of mtDNA variants and macrohaplogroups associated with PD strengthens the link between the disease and mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA genomic instability.

The prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) is growing worldwide and household pesticides exposure may be related to this phenomenon. We showed that individuals with high exposure to household pesticides have two times more risk of developing PD. Household pesticide exposure did not impact age at PD onset.
