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 ...

False negatives in GBA1 sequencing due to polymerase dependent allelic imbalance
A variant in the GBA1 gene is one of the most common genetic risk factors to develop Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here the serendipitous finding is reported of a polymerase dependent allelic imbalance when using next generation sequencing, potentially ...

A Systematic Review on Disease‐Modifying Therapies in Parkinsonian Disorders
Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are progressive neurodegenerative conditions with no treatment options to slow disease progression. This systematic review provides an overview of evidence of disease‐modifying therapies that have been evaluated in ...

Genetic and Pathological Testing Attitudes for Parkinson's Disease in At‐Risk Relatives
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasingly recognized as a neurodegenerative disorder with a broad clinical spectrum and diverse biomarkers enabling early detection. α‐synuclein seed amplification assays (SAA) and genetic testing now allow identification of PD pathology in asymptomatic individuals.

AAV-PHP.B-Mediated Global-Scale Expression in the Mouse Nervous System Enables GBA1 Gene Therapy for Wide Protection from Synucleinopathy [PDF]
The lack of technology for direct global-scale targeting of the adult mouse nervous system has hindered research on brain processing and dysfunctions. Currently, gene transfer is normally achieved by intraparenchymal viral injections, but these injections target a restricted brain area.

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the most prevalent lysosomal storage diseases caused by mutation of glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene. GD patients develop symptoms in various organs of the body; however, the underlying mechanisms causing pathology are still elusive.

Abstract Background Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), synthesized by the enzyme stearoyl‐coenzyme A desaturase (SCD), impacts on α‐synuclein pathology in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. Objective The objective of this study was to analyze SCD and MUFA‐enriched lipids in the periphery of patients ...

Gaucher disease (GD) is a common lysosomal storage disease resulting from mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene. This genetic disorder manifests with symptoms affecting multiple organs, yet the underlying mechanisms leading to pathology remain elusive.
