Gut-seeded α-synuclein fibrils promote gut dysfunction and brain pathology specifically in aged mice [PDF]
Parkinson’s disease is a synucleinopathy that is characterized by motor dysfunction, death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and accumulation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregates.

Neurodegenerative Diseases and Autophagy [PDF]
Most neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of aggregated proteins within neurons. These aggregate-prone proteins cause toxicity, a phenomenon that is further exacerbated when there is defective protein clearance.

The Age at Onset of LRRK2 p.Gly2019Ser Parkinson's Disease Across Ancestries and Countries of Origin
Objectives The objective of this study was to elucidate differences in the cumulative incidence of Leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) p.Gly2019Ser‐related Parkinson's disease (PD; LRRK2‐PD) between ancestries and countries. Methods We included 922 unrelated p.Gly2019Ser variant carriers (affected = 762 and unaffected = 160) from the Global Parkinson ...

Generation and Treatment of a Novel Severe Model of Visceral Gaucher Disease by Genetic Therapy
Background/Objectives: Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GBA1 gene. Type 1 Gaucher disease is characterised by substrate accumulation in the visceral organs, which occurs in combination ...

Gaucher disease is the most frequent lysosomal storage disorder due to the autosomal recessive deficiency of acid β-glucosidase. More than 300 mutations in the GBA1 gene have been described. However only one large deletion of the GBA1 gene has been reported to date.

Abstract Background Findings are contradictory regarding changes in the incidence and prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) over time; data for other parkinsonian disorders are rare. Objectives To analyze temporal trends in the incidence and prevalence of eight parkinsonisms (PD, MSA, PSP, CBS, DLB, vascular parkinsonism, drug‐induced parkinsonism ...

Ambroxol effects in glucocerebrosidase and -synuclein transgenic mice [PDF]
Objective. Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the glucocerebrosidase 1 gene that result in deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase.

Glycomimetic-based pharmacological chaperones for lysosomal storage disorders: lessons from Gaucher, GM1-gangliosidosis and Fabry diseases [PDF]
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are often caused by mutations that destabilize native folding and impair the trafficking of enzymes, leading to premature endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation, deficiencies of specific hydrolytic functions ...

Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective for Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its efficacy varies with genetic background, such as the GBA1 variant—the causative gene of Gaucher disease—associated with increased PD risk and cognitive decline after subthalamic nucleus (STN)‐DBS.

GBA1 Thr408Met mutation in a patient with Parkinson’s disease
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 ...
