Abstract excerpt
Patients with Gaucher disease have a deficiency of the lysosomal acid beta-glucosidase. The phenotypes of genotypically identical patients with Gaucher disease may differ markedly. We have examined the possibility that polymorphisms in another beta-glucosidase are responsible for this variability in the phenotype. Sequence analysis of the gene encoding cytosolic beta-glucosidase (GBA3) from 4 chromosomes revealed...
