Concise Statement: In Parkinson's disease, different epigenetic clock algorithms (Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, GrimAge) generate systematically divergent age estimates from the same DNA sample — and this inter-clock discordance score (IDS) is a novel, specific PD prodrome biomarker that reflects the cell-type-skewed aging pattern caused by dopaminergic neuron loss and compensatory glial proliferation.
Mechanistic Rationale:
Different epigenetic clocks are trained on different tissues and optimiz
