GBA1 in Parkinson’s disease: variant detection and pathogenicity scoring matters

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background GBA1 variants are the strongest genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the pathogenicity of GBA1 variants concerning PD is still not fully understood.

and The Immune System: A Potential Role in Parkinson’s Disease?

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2022
It is clear that the immune system and inflammation have a role in Parkinson’s disease (PD), including sporadic PD and some genetic forms such as LRRK2 -associated PD.

GBA1 Thr408Met mutation in a patient with Parkinson’s disease

Zhongguo Linchuang Yixue
GBA1 gene mutation is an important genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). This paper reports a case of a 43-year-old male PD patient carrying a rare heterozygous Thr408Met mutation in the GBA1 gene identified through whole-exome sequencing ...

GBA1 variants in Brazilian Gaucher disease patients

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2023
Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder caused by pathogenic variants in GBA1 which result in the deficient activity of glucocerebrosidase (GCase). There are few data on the genetic characterization of Brazilian GD patients.

Is Gauchian genotyping of GBA1 variants reliable?

Communications Biology, 2023
Abstract Biallelic mutations in GBA1 result in Gaucher disease (GD), the inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase. Variants in GBA1 are also a common genetic risk factor for Parkinson disease (PD). Currently, some PD centers screen for mutant

Accurate long-read sequencing identified GBA1 as major risk factor in the Luxembourgish Parkinson’s study

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
Heterozygous variants in the glucocerebrosidase GBA1 gene are an increasingly recognized risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Due to the GBAP1 pseudogene, which shares 96% sequence homology with the GBA1 coding region, accurate variant calling by ...

Mutational spectrum and clinical features of GBA1 variants in a Chinese cohort with Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
GBA1 variants are important risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Most studies assessing GBA1-related PD risk have been performed in European-derived populations.

Decreased glucocerebrosidase activity and substrate accumulation of glycosphingolipids in a novel GBA1 D409V knock-in mouse model.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Multiple mutations have been described in the human GBA1 gene, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) that degrades glucosylceramide and is pivotal in glycosphingolipid substrate metabolism.

Freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease with glucocerebrosidase mutations: prevalence, clinical correlates and effect on quality of life

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
ObjectivesMutations in glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) can change the clinical phenotype of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of freezing of gait (FOG) in PD patients with GBA1 mutations.MethodsA whole-exome ...
