GBA / GCase Therapeutic Modalities

Synthesis layer over the canonical by-photo corpus. This page does not replace data/processed/markdown/by-photo/. Every substantive statement links back to a source note or canonical transcription. Where the source carries Uncertain Spans, that uncertainty is preserved here rather than smoothed out.

Bounded synthesis. This page covers the 16 source pages that build the GBA / GCase modality cluster inside gba-pd-asyn (Pipeline of GD & GBA-PD > GBA-PD > PET Imaging GBA / … > GBA Activator / … > GBA GT and their sub-leaves). It is the modality-side companion of the GBA-PD pilot (gba-pd, gba-therapeutics, biomarkers) and of the GBA / GD / GBA-PD biology synthesis (gba-pd-biology).

Overview

This page collects the corpus’s GBA / GCase therapeutic-modality block into one navigable synthesis. The 16 source pages run as one capture-time band on Page 261 / 276 / 289 / 295 / 307 / 309 of the source deck and sit between the GBA-PD biology block (closing on _182323 GBA vs UPDRS vs MOCA, owned by gba-pd-biology) and the supplement anatomy chain (_182422_182447, section-only). Reading order is four overlapping bands: a PET Imaging GBA / modality readout bridge (MRI-GBA tail, GBA PET rationale, DDU/MJFF probe table, allosteric vs catalytic site, isofagomine, cassette / handover-to-Otake history, Catalytic-vs-Allosteric binder framing); a GBA Activator band (criteria and target profiles, RD-DDU GBA Activator, NHP Translational Model, Roche / BIAL / Gain Therapeutics competitor inventory, anti-TfR1 sdAb fusion-protein progress, RD DDU’s PET Imaging GBA feasibility plan); a GBA GT band (Executive summary cassette / D409V cassette selection, NHP studies (SNBR), TM GT GBA-PD planning matrix); and a Substrate-pathway correction band (Acid Ceramidase Inhibitor exec summary PFR-4153-100, GALC and Genetics GALC for PD, GalactosylSph (=psychosine) and Assay of GalactosylSph, Pipeline of KD, Target validation and correction). Cross-links to GBA-PD biology, the GBA-PD pilot, α-synuclein, PARKN GT, and the BioOrchestra / Brain Bank residual clusters live in § Source Boundary / Delegation.

Authoring Rules

  • No domain-knowledge corrections. The page reflects what the sources record, not what the field is “supposed” to say.
  • Uncertain Spans on the source page are preserved as uncertainty; numeric values, compound IDs, KD / IC50 ranges, dose / cassette tokens, residue numbers, and Korean inline annotations are not paraphrased.
  • The body of data/processed/markdown/by-photo/ is not modified.
  • No raw photos are staged; no new figure assets added; figure-bearing pages are linked rather than re-embedded (docs/decisions/2026-04-29-body-purity-and-figure-only-embeds.md).
  • Tables on canonical pages are not re-quoted verbatim; the canonical link carries the table.
  • Out-of-scope sources (GBA-PD biology, GBA-PD pilot, α-synuclein Tier 1 + program entities, PARKN GT, supplement anatomy chain, BioOrchestra biomarker chain, Brain Bank pages) are linked, not re-narrated, per § Source Boundary / Delegation.

Source Boundary / Delegation

This topic is bounded against several sibling owners. Sources outside the 16-page set are linked from this section, not re-narrated in the axis sections.

Per the program-routing map, Cluster B is the GBA / GCase modality cluster that gba-pd-biology explicitly delegates (“delegated to a future Cluster B synthesis and remains aggregated on gba-pd-asyn”). This page is that synthesis. No new entity pages are created in this pass; program-style rows on these 16 source pages (RD DDU GBA Activator, NHP Translational Model, Acid Ceramidase Inhibitor PFR-4153-100) are referenced in-axis and remain candidates for future entity promotion under therapeutic-programs Entity Backlog Candidates rather than being re-narrated as standalone program pages here.

Source Coverage

All 16 sources share the same first nav_path entry; the cluster collapses into a single nav-root row with a four-axis split below.

Across these 16 sources, the source-note frontmatter records 14 uncertain_span_count entries and 0 body-embedded figure assets — review surface area, not resolutions. The zero-figure-embed count reflects the 2026-04-29 body-purity decision: figure-bearing crops on these pages (Probe table, Cassette-selection cartoons, Lysosome cartoons, Allosteric / Catalytic site diagrams) are kept as evidence at the canonical level rather than re-embedded here.

Uncertainties Carried Forward

Uncertainty hot spots worth checking before downstream extraction. The page does not paraphrase uncertain content; open the canonical page for cell values.

  • PET Imaging GBA bridge (_182330 1, _182333 2 uncertain spans). The PET-history → Otake-handover → GBA-Activator-PRC1 rationale handoff carries the densest uncertainty on the bridge axis (in-vitro / in-vivo criterion cells, competitor-on-radar row).
  • RD-DDU GBA Activator preclinical anchor (_182336, 2 uncertain spans). L444P Lyso-GL1 substrate result table; the page-margin Korean annotation wt 없네? is preserved verbatim on the canonical page.
  • GBA GT Executive summary cassette / D409V selection (_182339, 2 uncertain spans). Cassette-selection rows, MOI definition, PRC1 submission, and the 4L/PS / CBE+A53T / CBE+Line 83 PE schedule carry the densest uncertainty in the GBA GT axis.
  • GBA Activator NHP TM and Competitor (_182351 1, _182355 1 uncertain span). DMPK PK/PD with the tempo code 43/6-100 opener and the Roche / BIAL competitor inventory carry inline uncertainty on identifiers and trial-table cells.
  • Substrate-pathway correction (_182406 1, _182409 2, _182412 1, _182416 1 uncertain spans). Acid Ceramidase Inhibitor (PFR-4153-100) AC-pathway directionality, GALC IPDGC LSD-variant table and Cf) CADD C-Score, GalactosylSph Disease state comparison, and the Pipeline-of-KD / AC-Inhibitor monthly report rows are the substrate-axis hot spots.
