: Human postmortem brain tissue from Guam PD, Guam ALS, and age-matched Guam non-neurological controls were sourced from the Binghamton Biorepository Archive (ALS-Guam). These samples were obtained as de-identified frozen specimens. The studies involving human samples were conducted in accordance with the ethics board standards at the Binghamton Biorepository Archive (ALS-Guam) and the institutional review boards at the Houston Methodist Research Institute (protocol IBC00001560). Additionally, experiments involving non-neurological control and PD patient-derived neural progenitor cells (hNPSCs) were approved by the institutional review boards at the Houston Methodist Research Institute (protocol IBC00001560).
