Glucocerebrosidase gene mutations: a risk factor for Lewy body disorders.
BACKGROUND Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene have been reported to modify risk for Parkinson disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). However, these findings have not been consistently replicated, and most studies have had substantial methodological shortcomings. OBJECTIVE To better assess the role of GBA variants in altering risk for Lewy body disorders. DESIGN Case-c...
متن کاملThe neurological presentation of ceruloplasmin gene mutations.
Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism resulting from mutations of the ceruloplasmin gene. To better define the neurological phenotype of aceruloplasminemia we reviewed reports of published cases and sought details of unpublished ones. We identified 32 published reports and 1 unpublished case. The age at diagnosis ranged from 16 to 71 years with a mean of 51. F...
متن کاملGlucocerebrosidase mutations in primary parkinsonism
INTRODUCTION Mutations in the lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene increase the risk of Parkinson's Disease (PD). We determined the frequency and relative risk of major GBA mutations in a large series of Italian patients with primary parkinsonism. METHODS We studied 2766 unrelated consecutive patients with clinical diagnosis of primary degenerative parkinsonism (including 2350 PD), and 111...
متن کاملGlucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson Disease.
Following the discovery of a higher than expected incidence of Parkinson Disease (PD) in Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, mutations in the glucocerebrocidase (GBA) gene, which encodes a lysosomal enzyme involved in sphingolipid degradation were explored in the context of idiopathic PD. GBA mutations are now known to be the single largest risk factor for development of idiopathic P...
متن کاملGlucocerebrosidase mutations in Gaucher disease.
BACKGROUND Thirty-six mutations that cause Gaucher disease, the most common glycolipid storage disorder, are known. Although both alleles of most patients with the disease contain one of these mutations, in a few patients one or both disease-producing alleles have remained unidentified. Identification of mutations in these patients is useful for genetic counseling. MATERIALS AND METHODS The D...
