Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in GBA1 are associated with neurodegenerative disease. This study aimed to explore pathogenic GBA1 variants. METHODS: Four patients with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) and extremely low β-glucosidase levels were recruited. Whole-exome sequencing and long-range PCR were performed to identify GBA1 variants. Bioinformatic analyses were used to predict the impact of the identified variants....
