Lysosomal Glucocerebrosidase is needed for ciliary Hedgehog signaling: A convergent pathway to Parkinsons disease
Mutations in LRRK2 and GBA1 are the most common genetic causes of familial Parkinsons disease. Previously, we showed that pathogenic LRRK2 mutations inhibit primary cilia formation in rare interneuron...
