Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GBA mutations are numerically the most significant genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), yet these mutations have low penetrance, suggesting additional mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine if the penetrance of GBA in PD can be explained by regulatory effects on GBA and modifier genes. METHODS: Genetic variants associated with the regulation of GBA were...
