Parkinson's disease in a patient with multiple sclerosis and heterozygous glucocerebrosidase gene mutation

• More than 30 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) have been reported so far. Theories on the co-occurrence of MS and PD range from coincidental to causal. There has been only one report of MS in young onset PD in a patient heterozygous for Parkin mutation. We report a patient with MS who developed signs typical for PD and was found to be heterozygous mutation carrier in the gene for glucocerebrosidase (GBA1), a well-known risk factor for PD.
