Abstract excerpt
Heterozygote carriers of Gaucher's disease mutations and other polymorphisms in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene show an increased incidence of Parkinson's disease. We hypothesized that common GBA polymorphisms would be associated with subtle parkinsonian features, mild cognitive impairment, and "silent" Lewy body (LB) pathology in aging individuals without a clinical diagnosis of parkinsonism. The most...
