Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations or genetic variants in the GBA1 gene, which encodes for the β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), a lysosomal hydrolase enzyme, may increase the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) onset. The heterozygous E326K form is one of the most common genetic risk factors for PD worldwide, but, to date, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigate the effect of the E326K on the...
