Recombination between the gene and pseudogene for glucocerebrosidase as a mechanism of mutation generation in Gaucher disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 1105-1118, October 2026.
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]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
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.

Ceramides in Parkinson’s Disease: From Recent Evidence to New Hypotheses

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Ceramides (Cer) constitute a class of lipids present in the cell membranes where they act as structural components, but they can also work as signaling molecules.

A Human Neural Crest Stem Cell-Derived Dopaminergic Neuronal Model Recapitulates Biochemical Abnormalities in GBA1 Mutation Carriers

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2017
Numerically the most important risk factor for the development of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the presence of mutations in the glucocerebrosidase GBA1 gene.

Identification of miRNAs that modulate glucocerebrosidase activity in Gaucher disease cells

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes
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

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2008
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.
