Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Variants in the <italic>CTSB</italic> gene encoding the lysosomal hydrolase cathepsin B (catB) are associated with increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, neither the specific <italic>CTSB</italic> variants driving these associations nor the functional pathways that link catB to PD pathogenesis have been characterized. CatB activity contributes to lysosomal prot...
