Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucocerebrosidase gene mutations are a common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease. They exhibit incomplete penetrance. The objective of the present study was to measure microglial activation and dopamine integrity in glucocerebrosidase gene mutation carriers without Parkinson's disease compared to controls. METHODS: We performed PET scans on 9 glucocerebrosidase gene mutation carriers without...
