Abstract excerpt
Glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) mutations are the most common genetic contributor to Parkinson's disease (PD) and are associated with decreased glucocerebrosidase (GCase) enzymatic activity in PD. PD patients without GBA mutations also exhibit lower levels of GCase activity in the central nervous system suggesting a potential contribution of the enzyme activity in disease pathogenesis, possibly by alteration of...
