Mutation prevalence among 51 unrelated Spanish patients with Gaucher disease: identification of 11 novel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene. Gaucher disease is a very heterogeneous entity due to the large number of different mutations existing in the GBA gene, resulting in a defective protein whose impaired activity is the cause of the disease. We present a mutation analysis of the GBA gene in 51 unrelated Spanish Gaucher disease...
