The authors wish to add the following to the Acknowledgments section. "After the publication of our article, we became aware of the publication by Jowaed et al. in the Journal of Neuroscience, titled "Methylation regulates alpha-synuclein expression and is decreased in Parkinson's disease patients' brains." The article in the Journal of Neuroscience reports similar pathological changes in the alpha-synuclein CpG region to those reported in our article, and the results in our publication are in line with those reported by Jowaed et al., as a result, the authors feel that it is relevant to include an acknowledgment to the related work by Jowaed et al."
