Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is heterozygous mutations in the GBA1 gene which encodes for the lysosomal enzyme, glucocerebrosidase (GCase). GCase impairments are associated with an accumulation of abnormal α-synuclein (α-syn) called Lewy pathology, which characterizes PD. PD patients heterozygous for the GBA1 L444P mutation (GBA1 +/L444P ) have a 5.6-fold inc...
