Glucocerebrosidase 1 ( GBA ) mutations responsible for Gaucher disease (GD) are the most common genetic risk factor Parkinson's (PD). Although link between GD and PD is well established, underlying molecular mechanism(s) not understood. We propose that glucosylsphingosine, a sphingolipid accumulating in GD, mediates pathology -associated PD. show that, whereas GD-related sphingolipids (glucosylceramide, sphingosine, sphingosine-1-phosphate) promote α-synuclein aggregation vitro ,...
