Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the GBA1 gene, which encodes the lysosomal glucocerebrosidase enzyme GCase, cause the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher disease and represent the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). These mutations deplete lysosomal GCase activity and cause accumulation of GCase substrate, glucosylceramide, and its pathological metabolite, glucosylsphingosine. Impaired GCase activity then...
