Mutations in the gene encoding for the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA) result in Gaucher disease. In this study, seven novel missense mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (A136E, H162P, K198E, Y205C, F251L, Q350X and I402F) and a splice site mutation (IVS10+2TβA) were identified by dir

## Communicated by Mark Paalman Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage disorder, results from the inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Three clinical types are recognized: type 1, nonneuronopathic; type 2, acute neuronopathic; and type 3, subacute neuronopathic. Type 2
To detect mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene in Gaucher disease patients, we used the recently described technique of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in combination with selective amplification. We analyzed exon 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the glucocerebrosidase gene; these exon
