Massive splenomegaly is a frequent finding in patients with Gaucher disease, the most common of the sphingolipidoses. Even so, the risk for splenic rupture and intracapsular hemorrhage has not been emphasized due to the rarity of this occurrence and the fibrotic, rubbery consistency of splenic tissu
## 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
Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene which result in Gaucher disease can originate from the highly homologous glucocerebrosidase pseudogene. A 55-bp deletion in exon 9, which corresponds to a 55-bp segment absent from the pseudogene, has been identified in patients with Gaucher disease. We have
