Abstract excerpt
Mutations in GBA, the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase), represent the greatest genetic risk factor for developing synucleinopathies including Parkinson's disease (PD). Additionally, PD patients harboring a mutant GBA allele present with an earlier disease onset and an accelerated disease progression of both motor and non-motor symptoms. Preclinical studies in mouse models of...
