Complete screening for glucocerebrosidase mutations in Parkinson disease patients from Greece.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) have been implicated in Parkinson disease (PD). A Greek cohort of 172 PD patients and 132 control individuals were screened for GBA mutations by complete sequencing of the gene's exons. Four mutations previously associated with Gaucher disease and/or Parkinson's disease (L445P, D409H, E326K, H255Q) were detected, as well as five newly identified variants (R329H,...
