KEGG   DISEASE: Lewy body dementia (LBD)
Entry
H00066                      Disease                                
Name
Lewy body dementia (LBD);
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)
Description
Lewy Body dementia (LDB) is neurodegenerative disease characterized by dementia, mild parkinsonism, and fluctuations in attention and alertness. It is the second most-common degenerative dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Progressive accumulation of alpha-synuclein- and ubiquitin-positive Lewy Bodies is seen in the brainstem, the limbic system or cortical and subcortical regions, depending on disease subtype. The genetic risk factors include alpha-synuclein mutations and SNCA locus triplication. Mutations of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene have also been implicated in familial DLB.
