Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. The characteristic α-synuclein aggregation of PD is also a feature of Sanfilippo syndrome, a storage disorder caused by α-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) gene mutations. We explored genetic links between these disorders and studied the pathology of Sanfilippo syndrome to investigate a common pathway toward α-synuclein aggregation.
