In this study, we discovered the shared lipid signature associated with long sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD) (sPD), GBA risk and mild mutations, that is distinct from that of GBA severe mutation in PD amygdala. Moreover, we found that the levels of pathological alpha-synuclein, glucocerebrosidase activity and specific lipids, inc. cholesterol, sphingolipids, cardiolipin and diacylglycerides, correlate in sPD samples. These […]
