## To the Editor: Gaucher disease results from an inherited deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase . Three clinical forms of Gaucher disease have been described: type 1, non-neuronopathic; type 2, acute neuronopathic; and type 3, subacute neuronopathic. Type I Gaucher disease is the
The infantile form of GSD II (an inherited deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, acid Ξ± Ξ±glucosidase, Pompe disease) is a severe and invariably fatal disease characterized by a rapidly progressive generalized hypotonia, hepatomegaly, and cardiomegaly. We have recently demonstrated that African America
Gaucher disease is the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorder. It is autosomalrecessive, resulting in lysosomal glucocerebrosidase deficiency. Three clinical forms of Gaucher disease have been described: type 1 (nonneuronopathic), type 2 (acute neuronopathic), and type 3 (subacute neuronopathic).
Gaucher disease results from mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA/GeneBank J03059) located on human chromosome 1q21. Three clinical forms of Gaucher disease have been described: type 1, nonneuropathic; type 2, acute neuropathic; and type 3, subacute neuropathic. We have identified a novel m
