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
Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by a deficiency of β€-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
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
