Downregulation of neurotrophic factors in the brain of a mouse model of Gaucher disease: implications for neuronal loss in Gaucher disease
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease is a glycosphingolipid storage disease caused by deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, resulting in the accumulation of glucosylceramide in lysosomes. The neuronopathic forms of this disease are associated with neuronal loss and neurodegeneration. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to prenatal and neonatal death remain uncharacterized. To investigate brain dysfunction in Gaucher...
