GBA1 links Gaucher disease & Parkinson’s.
Increasing understanding of GBA1-driven PD pathology has led to promising treatment avenues, including use of virus vectors to deliver glucocerebrosidase to neurons, use of small molecule chaperone proteins, and more.

Diagram illustrating GBA1 functions in the cell and their role in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. It shows a cell with labeled sections: (A) ER stress with misfolded mutant GCase proteins accumulating in the endoplasmic reticulum, (B) lysosomal and autophagic dysfunction with impaired autophagosome–lysosome fusion, (C) lipid alterations with accumulation of GlcCer/GlcSph, (D) mitochondrial dysfunction, and (E) neuroinflammation involving microglia. Icons represent alpha-synuclein, mitochondria, lysosomes, exosomes, and other cell components. A legend at the bottom explains the symbols used.
