GBA1 varyantları ve Parkinson Hastalığı: Klinik veriler ve literatür incelemesini birleştiren çift yaklaşım
Abstract
Amaç:
Parkinson hastalığında (PD) önemli bir duyarlılık geni olan ve Gaucher hastalığıyla yakından ilişkili olan GBA geni, son yirmi yılda önemli bir araştırma ilgisi topladı. GBA'daki mutasyonlar, PD geliştirme riskinin artmasıyla ilişkilidir. Bu çalışma, klinik ekzom analizi geçiren bir hasta kohortunda PD ile ilişkili genetik mutasyonları açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır.
GBA gen mutasyonlarına ve ek nörodejeneratif ilişkili genetik değişikliklere odaklanarak Parkinson hastalığı olan hastaların klinik ve genetik profillerini araştırmak.
Gereç ve Yöntem:
Parkinson hastalığı ön tanısı olan on dört hasta klinik ekzom analizinden geçti. Araştırma, belirsiz öneme sahip varyantları, olası patojenik mutasyonları ve GBA genindeki patojenik mutasyonları belirlemek için genetik test içeriyordu. Pozitif GBA mutasyonu sonuçları olan hastalarda daha fazla genetik değişiklik değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar: Teşhis konulan 177 kişiden 14'ünde GBA mutasyonu vardı. Grupta ortalama başlangıç yaşı 53,7 yıl olan 8 erkek ve 6 kadın vardı. Titreme, sertlik, bradikinezi, hipomimi ve duruş bozukluğu baskındı. Semptomlar için genellikle dopamin agonistleri uygulandı. Depresyon, anksiyete, hiperkolesterolemi ve diyabet gibi bozukluklar sıktı. GBA gen çalışması, p.Asn409Ser (N370S) mutasyonunun en yaygın olduğu birçok anlamsız varyant buldu. Dört kişide ayrıca EIF4G1, APP ve SLC20A2 mutasyonları vardı ve bu da PD'yi etkileyen karmaşık bir genetik manzarayı gösteriyor.
Sonuç:
Araştırmamız PD'nin genetik çeşitliliğini, özellikle GBA mutasyonlarının hastalığın başlangıcında ve ilerlemesindeki rolünü vurgulamaktadır. Ek genetik varyantlar PD semptomlarını kötüleştirebilir. Bu mutasyonların patojenitesi ve hasta bakımı üzerindeki sonuçları hakkında daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

GBA1 variants and Parkinson’s Disease: A dual approach combining clinical data and literature review
Abstract
Aim: The GBA1 (ENSG00000177628) gene, a key susceptibility gene in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and closely linked to Gaucher disease, has garnered significant research attention over the past two decades. Mutations in GBA1 are associated with an elevated risk of developing PD. This study aims to elucidate genetic mutations related to PD in a cohort of patients undergoing clinical exome analysis. We aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic profiles of patients with Parkinson’s disease, focusing on GBA1 gene mutations and additional neurodegenerative-related genetic alterations.
Materials and Methods: Fourteen patients with a preliminary diagnosis of Parkinson's disease underwent clinical exome analysis. The research included genetic testing to identify variants of uncertain significance, likely pathogenic mutations, and pathogenic mutations in the GBA1 gene. Further genetic alterations were evaluated in patients with positive GBA1 mutation results.
Results: 14 out of 177 diagnosed individuals had GBA1 mutations. The group had 8 men and 6 women with a mean onset age of 53.7 years. Tremor, stiffness, bradykinesia, hypomimia, and postural instability predominated. Dopamine agonists were often administered for symptoms. Disorders like depression, anxiety, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes were frequent. GBA1 gene study found many missense variants, with the p.Asn409Ser (N370S) mutation being the most common. Four individuals also had mutations in EIF4G1, APP, and SLC20A2, demonstrating a complex genetic landscape affecting PD.
Conclusion: Our research highlights PD's genetic diversity, particularly GBA1 mutations' role in disease onset and progression. Additional genetic variants may worsen PD symptoms. Further research is needed on these mutations' pathogenicity and consequences on patient care.
