A Review of Gaucher Disease Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation and Treatments
Gaucher disease (GD, ORPHA355) is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorder. It is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, glucocerebrosidase, which leads to an accumulation of its substrate, glucosylceramide, in macrophages.

The definition of neuronopathic Gaucher disease
Neuronopathic Gaucher disease (nGD) has a very wide clinical and genotypic spectrum. However, there is no consensus definition of nGD, including no description of how best to diagnostically separate the acute form—Gaucher type 2—from the subacute or ...

Gaucher Disease and Myelofibrosis: A Combined Disease or a Misdiagnosis? [PDF]
Background: Gaucher disease (GD) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) share similar clinical and laboratory features, such as cytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and marrow fibrosis, often resulting in a misdiagnosis.

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Small Molecule Chaperones for the Treatment of Gaucher Disease and GBA1-Associated Parkinson Disease
Parkinson disease, the second most common movement disorder, is a complex neurodegenerative disorder hallmarked by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein, a neural-specific small protein associated with neuronal synapses. Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase

Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the GBA gene, which encodes for the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), resulting in the accumulation of storage material in visceral organs and in some cases the brain of affected patients.
