Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most frequent lysosomal storage disease, caused by mutations in the acid beta-glucosidase gene (GBA). The c.1226A > G (N370S) mutation is associated with non-neuronopathic disease (type 1). However, we have observed some discrepancy between genotype and phenotype in Spanish Gaucher disease patients homozygous for the c.1226A > G mutation. A deletion of 55 bp in the exon 9 GBA gene,...
