Abstract excerpt
Several genetic risk factors have been identified for Parkinson disease (PD), including mutations in glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). Recently, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) described as SCARB2 SNPs were reported to be associated with PD. SCARB2 is an attractive candidate gene for PD as it encodes for lysosomal integral membrane protein type 2 (LIMP-2), a protein involved in transporting glucocerebrosidase...
