Mutations in glucocerebrosidase (GBA) are the most prevalent genetic risk factor for Lewy body disorders (LBD)-collectively Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.

We investigated relationships between LBD-specific glucocerebrosidase deficits, GBA-related...
