Abstract excerpt
The main genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) are presently represented by variants in GBA1 gene encoding for the β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Searching for a peripheral biomarker that can be used for selecting and monitoring patients in clinical trials targeting GBA1-associated PD (GBA1-PD) is a current challenge. We previously demonstrated that α-synuclein oligomers expressed as proximity ligation...
