Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in PLA2G6, which encodes the calcium-independent phospholipase A2 group VI, cause neurodegeneration and diffuse cortical Lewy body formation by a yet undefined mechanism. We assessed whether altered protein glycosylation due to abnormal Golgi morphology might be a factor in the pathology of this disease. METHODS: Three patients presented with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN); two...
