Specifically neuropathic Gaucher's mutations accelerate cognitive decline in Parkinson's
22 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that specific mutations in the β-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) causing neuropathic Gaucher's disease (GD) in homozygotes lead to aggressive cognitive decline in heterozygous Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, whereas non-neuropathic GD mutations confer intermediate progression rates. METHODS: A total of 2,304 patients with PD and 20,868 longitudinal visits for up to 12.8 years (median,...
