Multicenter Analysis of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson's Disease

Ellen Sidransky, +75 more
TL;DR: Data collected demonstrate that there is a strong association between GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease, and those with a GBA mutation presented earlier with the disease, were more likely to have affected relatives, and were morelikely to have atypical clinical manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocerebrosidase mutations are an important risk factor for Lewy body disorders

TL;DR: The glucocerebrosidase gene was examined in 75 autopsy specimens with different synucleinopathies and identified mutations in 23% of cases of dementia with Lewy bodies, expanding on previous findings in subjects with Parkinson disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocerebrosidase mutations in Chinese subjects from Taiwan with sporadic Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GBA mutations are also encountered in Chinese subjects with sporadic PD at a higher frequency than many other known PD genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocerebrosidase mutations are also found in subjects with early-onset parkinsonism from Venezuela

TL;DR: The glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) has been examined by different screening techniques in five different cohorts with parkinsonism, finding alterations in GBA may contribute to a vulnerability to the development of parkinsonian symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perinatal lethal gaucher disease: a distinct phenotype along the neuronopathic continuum

TL;DR: Insights from the null-allele Gaucher mouse model contributed to the identification of this distinct phenotype, which has unique epidermal involvement in Gaucher disease.
