Alemelegy et al. write about some initial findings here in a small # of GBA carriers undergoing STN DBS showing impaired response inhibition compared to other groups

We ask what is a minimally important cost difference in comparison to potential benefit of DBS with respect to physical discomfort from motor complications?
It’s a very difficult question to answer.

What to do when a person w/#Parkinsons has a GBA mutation but may be considering DBS? 🤷🤔
Margaret O’Connor & I wrote that more work is needed to truly understand the cost differential in the latest issue of #ACTN @ANA_journals @WileyNeuro

Emerging published data needs to be translated cautiously, helping the patient & their care partners consider their own personal & social circumstances

We should not categorically deny DBS to those with GBA1 gene mutations. So glad Pal et al published f/u w/ clear statement. Risk of misinterpretation of data 'out of context.' GBA1 folks 'you are definitely eligible for a DBS workup and potential surgery.' movementdisorders.onlinelibr…

An MDS Task Force is working to develop recommendations for clinical genetic testing, so they have taken the necessary step of researching where the field currently stands – including identifying the main gaps and controversies in this review.

Check out our new article! Can we study 10s of 1000s of PD patients in EHR? Does the data accurately represent all races? Not yet! @AlbertoEspay @BDWissel @bkissela sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at Dry Run, OH

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…
for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.
