Gaucher Disease and Parkinson's Disease Link Could be Explained by Overworked Cellular Machines

The biological pathway that explains why Gaucher disease (GD) patients have a higher risk for developing Parkinson's disease (PD) has been identified by scientists. Their study was presented Tuesday, Dec. 17, at the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting in New Orleans. GD is a hereditary disease in which the genes that encode the enzyme glucocerebrosidase are mutated, resulting in a life-threatening build-up of lipids, fatty substances, in ...
