Abstract

Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene have been recently identified as contributory to Parkinson disease (PD) in Ashkenazi Jews. In the present study, the clinical characteristics of Ashkenazi patients with PD with GBA mutations (n = 40) were compared to those of Ashkenazi patients with PD without any known GBA mutation (n = 108). The overall clinical manifestations and age at disease onset did not differ in patients with GBA mutations compared to patients without mutations.
