Parkinson disease in Gaucher disease

Abstract: BackgroundGaucher disease (GD) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the gene (GBA) coding for glucocerebrosidase (GCase), inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. GD patients have up to 9% risk of developing PD.Case presentationWe report two patients with GD that developed PD at different disease stages.ConclusionWe reviewed the literature on the coexistence of PD and GD and speculate that the severity of symptoms may be related to the type of GBA mutation inherited.Electronic supplement… Show more

“…Several movement disorders have been described in the spectrum of lysosomal diseases, among them levodopa responsive parkinsonism and parkinsonism plus (ataxia, dystonia or spasticity) [4,13,21,26]. In this sense, GBA mutation, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, Kufor–Rakeb disease, Niemann Pick type C are among the lysosomal disorders associated to hypokinetic movement disorders and more specifically to Parkinsonisms [21].…”

“…Epidemiological data suggest that non-neuropathic GD type 1 needs to be redefined, taking into account the occurrence of neurological signs and symptoms such as movement disorders, cognitive decline, slow saccades and progressive supranuclear palsy [21,47].…”

“…It is caused by mutations in the glucoceribrosidase ( GBA ) gene. Mutations in GBA constitute the most common risk factor identified for PD to-date [40]. Another autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder, Niemann-Pick (NP) type A and B, which results from mutations in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 ( SMPD1 ) gene is also reported as a risk-factor for PD [41], while heterozygous carriers of the autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder NP type C1 (NPC1), with mutations in the NPC1 gene, have also been reported to present with PD [42].…”

“…For example, peripheral neuropathies and neurological symptoms resulting from spinal compression fractures have been reported in patients with GD type 1 and a higher incidence of Parkinsonism has recently been associated with mutations in the GBA1 gene. 12,13 Conversely, the neuropathic symptoms associated with GD type 3 may be mild, with many patients graduating from college and leading a relatively normal life. 14 Long-term complications associated with GD type 1 include pulmonary hypertension, 15 haematological malignancies (leukaemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma), and -less frequently -solid cancers (e.g.…”
