he high frequency of glucocerebrosidase mutations among ethnically diverse cohorts of Parkinson's disease patients render mutations in this gene as one of the most common and universally reported risk factors for PD [22]. It is also clear that a relationship exists between Gaucher disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. However, this association does not appear to extend to all synucleinopathies. Presently, no link has been found between GBA mutations and multiple system atrophy or neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation.The clinical implications of this relationship, such as modifications to genetic counseling or testing regimens, will need to be addressed. Hruska et al. [77] recommended that questions regarding parkinsonian symptoms be included in Gaucher patient evaluations and that inquiries about relatives with Gaucher disease be made in Parkinson disease clinics. However, caution was advocated in translating the findings to the patient community due to the low combined incidence and the potential to generate alarm.The mechanism behind the relationship between GBA mutations and PD or DLB remains elusive. Gain-of-function, loss-of-function, and prion theories have been proposed. A better understanding of this link will provide new avenues for investigation, further clarification of synucleinopathy family members, and the development of novel therapies.
