Unexpected opposing biological effect of genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease
2019-07-14
Abstract excerpt
The additive effect of genetic risk variants on overall disease risk is a plausible but frequently unproven hypothesis. To test this hypothesis, we assessed the biological effect of combined glucocerebrosidase (GCase) and acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) deficiency. Variants in both glucocerebrosidase1 ( GBA1 ) and sphingomyelinase ( SMPD1 ) are genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease. Unexpectedly, ASM defici...
