The effect of mutant GBA1 on accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein
6 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD) patients and carriers of GD mutations have a higher propensity to develop Parkinson's disease (PD) in comparison to the non-GD population. This implies that mutant GBA1 allele is a predisposing factor for the development of PD.
