Communicated by Peter H. Byers Gaucher disease is particularly prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews; thus most studies have been reported on this ethnic group. We present the first data on Spanish patients with Gaucher disease and provide one of the first reports on a fairly well defined, large, non-Jewis
Communicated by William S. Sly Gaucher disease is the most prevalent sphingolipidosis, characterized by genetic deficiency of lysosomal hydrolase glucocerebrosidase, and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. To characterize the molecular basis of Gaucher disease in Japan, we analyzed for th
Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by a deficiency of -glucocerebrosidase activity mainly due to mutations in the gene coding for the enzyme. More than 100 mutations have been identified to date and their frequencies have been established in several populations, including Ashkenazi Jews, among whom the
