Loss-of-function mutations in the GBA1 gene are a prevalent risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Defining features are Lewy bodies that can be rich in α-synuclein (αS), vesicle membranes, and other lipid membranes, coupled with striatal dopamine ...

Parkinson's disease and Gaucher disease : focus on the GBA1 link
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world, characterized by both motor as well as many non-motor features.

African ancestry neurodegeneration risk variant disrupts an intronic branchpoint in GBA1.
Recently, an African ancestry-specific Parkinson disease (PD) risk signal was identified at the gene encoding glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). This variant ( rs3115534 -G) is carried by ~50% of West African PD cases and imparts a dose-dependent increase in ...
