Gaucher disease (GD, ORPHA355) is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorder. It is
caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, glucocerebrosidase, which leads to an …

The GBA gene encodes for the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase), which
maintains glycosphingolipid homeostasis. Approximately 5–15% of PD patients have …

Summary Parkinson's disease (PD), an adult neurodegenerative disorder, has been
clinically linked to the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher disease (GD), but the …

The lysosome has long been viewed as the recycling center of the cell. However, recent
discoveries have challenged this simple view and have established a central role of the …

Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme that
is deficient in Gaucher's disease, are important and common risk factors for Parkinson's …

Autophagy is a major, conserved cellular pathway by which cells deliver cytoplasmic
contents to lysosomes for degradation. Genetic studies have revealed extensive links …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common degenerative disorder. Although the
disease was described more than 200 years ago, its pathogenetic mechanisms have not yet …

Mutations in the acid β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene, responsible for the lysosomal
storage disorder Gaucher's disease (GD), are the strongest genetic risk factor for Parkinson's …

Heterozygous mutations in GBA1, the gene encoding lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, are
the most frequent known genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Reduced …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and the
fastest growing neurologic disease in the world, yet no disease-modifying therapy is …
