1. A non-wild type polynucleotide comprising a beta-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) nucleotide sequence, wherein the GBA nucleotide sequence encodes a β-Glucocerebrosidase (GCase) protein, wherein the GBA nucleotide sequence comprises a sequence that is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the GCase protein encoded by the GBA nucleotide sequence has GCase activity and expresses in human liver cells at higher levels compared to a GCase encoded by a wild type GBA nucleotide sequence.
