Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD) results from deleterious mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene. The relatively high frequency of some of these, especially at cDNA nucleotide 1226G (N370S) and at cDNA nucleotide 1448C (L444P), has led to the development of rapid screening techniques that can sometimes be misleading. In this report, we describe a novel rearrangement between the glucocerebrosidase gene and its pseudogene,...
