Singleton effect size was surprisingly high, and the clinical and pathologic link between PD and Gaucher’s disease was not immediately obvious. This association however has been borne out. Again, the application of meta-analysis of existing data has provided the most compelling results thus far, with an analysis of GBA mutations in ~6,000 PD patients and ~5,000 controls [51]. N370S mutations was 15 % in PD patients and 3 % in controls, and in non-Ashkenazi Jewish populations, the frequency of these variants was 3 % in cases and <1 % in controls.
