Introduction

What is Gaucher Disease?

GD is a genetic disorder caused by a recessive mutation in the GBA gene located on chromosome 1. It is a rare disorder and patients with GD may present with a broad range of signs and symptoms. These may include enlarged spleen and liver, liver malfunction, skeletal disorders or bone lesions that may be painful, severe neurological complications, swelling of lymph nodes, anemia and low blood platelet count. Persons seriously affected may also be more susceptible to infection.
