Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1) are associated with increased risk for α-synuclein aggregation disorders ('synucleinopathies'), which include Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Homozygous GBA1 mutations lead to reduced GBA1 lysosomal activity underlying three variants of Gaucher disease (GD). Despite the wealth of clinical and genetic evidence supporting the...
