## Abstract Recent studies have reported an association between the glucocerebrosidase (__GBA__) gene and Parkinson's disease (PD). To elucidate the role of this gene in our population, we screened 395 PD patients and 483 controls from southern Italy for the N370S and the L444P mutations. We found
## Abstract A body of work has emerged over the past decade demonstrating a relationship between mutations in glucocerebrosidase gene (__GBA__), the gene implicated in Gaucher disease (GD), and the development of parkinsonism. Several different lines of research support this relationship. First, pa
