Glucocerebrosidase mutations do not cause increased Lewy body pathology in Parkinson's disease
Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene have been implicated in increased formation of Lewy bodies (LBs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). We found GBA mutation status not to be significantly associated with the density of cortical LBs, after adjusting for sex, age at death, duration of PD an...
