| Abstract |
From the first descriptions of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Gaucher's disease (GD) in the nineteenth century, it took more than 100 years to discover the link between the GBA gene and Parkinsonism. The observation that mutations in the GBA gene represent the most common genetic risk factor for PD so far only came into focus because of astute clinical observation of Gaucher patients and their families. In this review, we (i) outline how GBA was identified as a genetic risk factor for Parkinsonism, (ii) present clinical characteristics of GBA-associated Parkinsonism, (iii) discuss possible mechanisms of the underlying pathogenesis in GBA-associated Parkinsonism, and (iv) provide an outlook on potentially new areas of research and treatment that arise from this important discovery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2014.
All research outputs
#3,945,574
of 22,758,248 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
#228
of 1,841 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#39,232
of 228,067 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
#3
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,758,248 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,841 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 228,067 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
