Description Mono- and bi-allelic GBA variants represent the major genetic risk factor for Parkinson's Disease (PD), with reduced penetrance. Biomarkers for phenoconversion in GBA carriers are not available. Bi-allelic GBA variants cause Gaucher disease (GD). A subtype of GD (GD3) have characteristic slowing of horizontal saccades. Systematic analysis of eye movement in heterozygous GBA carriers has not been previously reported. We investigated eye movement abnormalities in patients with PD and heterozygous GBA variants compared to non-carrier PD.
