Comparison of Parkinson Risk in Ashkenazi Jewish Patients With Gaucher Disease and<i>GBA</i>Heterozygotes

Abstract

Patients with GD and GBA heterozygotes have an increased age-specific risk for PD compared with control individuals, with a similar magnitude of PD risk by 80 years of age; however, the number of mutant alleles may play an important role in age at PD onset.
