Recombination between the gene and pseudogene for glucocerebrosidase as a mechanism of mutation generation in Gaucher disease [PDF]
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the deficiency of β-glucocerebrosidase. Some Gaucher patients carry in their β-glucocerebrosidase genes complex mutations which apparently arose by a recombination with the non-functional β ...

ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Glucocerebrosidase and Parkinson disease: Recent advances [PDF]
Mutations of the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene are the most important risk factor yet discovered for Parkinson disease (PD). Homozygous GBA mutations result in Gaucher disease (GD), a lysosomal storage disorder. Heterozygous mutations have not until recently been thought to be associated with any pathological process.

Identification of miRNAs that modulate glucocerebrosidase activity in Gaucher disease cells
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Although it is a monogenic disease, there is vast phenotypic heterogeneity, even among patients with the same genotype. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small

Iminosugar-Dihydroazulenes as Mutant L444P Glucocerebrosidase Enhancers [PDF]
A remarkable enhancer of human glucocerebrosidase enzyme (GCase) was identified among a set of dihydroazulene-tagged iminosugars. An unprecedented 3.9-fold increase in GCase activity was detected on fibroblasts bearing the homozygous L444P mutation ...

Estudo da doença de Gaucher em Santa Catarina Study of Gaucher disease in Santa Catarina
A doença de Gaucher (DG) foi a primeira doença de armazenamento lisossomal descrita e a mais encontrada. Caracteriza-se pela deficiência hereditária da atividade da enzima lisossomal glucocerebrosidase, que bloqueia o metabolismo do glicocerebrosídeo.
