Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced activity of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase is found in brain tissue from Parkinson's disease patients. Glucocerebrosidase is also highly expressed in peripheral blood monocytes where its activity is decreased in Parkinson's disease patients, even in the absence of GBA mutation. OBJECTIVE: To measure glucocerebrosidase activity in cryopreserved peripheral blood monocytes from 30 Parkinson's...
