A double-hit <i>in vivo</i> model of <i>GBA1</i> viral microRNA-mediated downregulation and human alpha-synuclein overexpression demonstrates nigrostriatal degeneration
2021-06-23
Abstract excerpt
Preclinical and clinical studies support a strong association between mutations in the GBA1 gene that encodes β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) (EC 3.2.1.45; glucosylceramidase beta) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Alpha-synuclein (AS), a key player in PD pathogenesis, and GBA1 mutations may independently and synergistically cause lysosomal dysfunction and thus, embody clinically well-validated targets of the neurodege...
