NCIt definition : Human GBA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q22 and is approximately
10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase protein,
is involved in the production of ceramides from glucosylceramides. Mutations in this
gene are associated with Gaucher disease and with increased susceptibility to Lewy
body dementia or late-onset Parkinson disease.;
NCIt note : Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants;
