Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited glycolipid storage disorder resulting from the deficiency of glucocerebrosidase. It is the most frequent lysosomal storage disease in Romania, accounting for 70% of all lysosomal disorders diagnosed since 1997 in this country. The prevalence of six common mutations (N370S, L444P, R463C, 84GG, recNciI and recTL) and their phenotypic impact were studied in 20 type 1 GD patients...
