BACKGROUND: In recent years, mutations in glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA), which encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) deficient in Gaucher disease (GD), were found to be the most widespread genetic for the development of Parkinson disease. AIM: In this work, we investigated the possibility of a biological linkage between GCase and alpha-synuclein. MATERIALS AND METHODS: siRNA … Continue reading The association between lysosomal protein glucocerebrosidase and Parkinson’s disease
