Article Synopsis
- Variants in the GBA1 gene lead to changes in sphingolipid levels, which are lipid molecules important for cell function.
- A study analyzed five specific sphingolipid species in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individuals with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies, both with and without GBA1 variants, as well as healthy controls.
- The results showed no increase in sphingolipid levels in participants with the GBA1 variant and no link to cognitive decline, indicating that these sphingolipids are not useful as indicators of Parkinson's Disease.
