Abstract
Background: Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) genes, encoding lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), respectively, are the most common related to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent data suggest a possible functional interaction between GCase and LRRK2 and their involvement in sphingolipid metabolism. The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical course and evaluate the lysosomal enzyme activities and sphingolipid concentrations in blood of patients with PD associated with dual mutations p.N370S GBA1 and p.G2019S LRRK2 (p.N370S/GBA-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD) as well as in blood of asymptomatic mutation carriers (p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-carrier). Methods: One patient with p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD and one p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-carrier were enrolled. GBA1-associated PD (GBA1-PD), LRRK2-associated PD (LRRK2-PD), sporadic PD (sPD) patients were described earlier by our research group. A neuropsychiatric examination of the p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD patient was carried out using scales (Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA), Mini-mental State Examination scale (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Batter scale (FAB), Hospital Anxiety, and Depression Scale (HADS), etc). Lysosomal enzyme activity (GCase, alpha-galactosidase [GLA], acid sphingomyelinase [ASMase], galactosylcerebrosidase [GALC]) and sphingolipid concentrations (hexasylsphingosine [HexSph], lysoglobotriaosylsphingosine [LysoGb3], lysosphingomyelin [LysoSM]) were assessed with high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry in blood. The following comparison with the previously described groups of GBA1-PD and sPD patients were conducted. Results: Clinical features of p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD included an early age of onset of the disease (46 years) and mild cognitive and affective disorders (MMSE = 29, MoCA = 23), despite a long (24 years) course of the disease. Interestingly, no differences were found in hydrolase activity and lysosphingolipid concentrations between the p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD patient and GBA1-PD patients. However, GCase activity was lower in these groups than in LRRK2-PD, sPD, and controls. Additionally, the p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD patient was characterized by a pronounced decreased in ASMase activity and increased LysoSM concentration compared to the p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-carrier (p = 0.023, p = 0.027, respectively). Conclusions: Based on one patient, our results indicate a protective effect of the p.G2019S mutation in the LRRK2 gene on clinical course of p.N370S/GBA1-PD. The identified pronounced alteration of ASMase activity and LysoSM concentration in p.N370S/GBA1-p.G2019S/LRRK2-PD provide the basis for the further research.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
