ER retention and degradation as the molecular basis underlying Gaucher disease heterogeneity.

Abstract excerpt

Gaucher disease (GD), an autosomal recessive disease, is characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide mainly in cells of the reticuloendothelial system, due to mutations in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase gene. Some of the patients suffer from neurological symptoms (type 2 and type 3 patients), whereas patients with type 1 GD do not present neurological signs. The disease is heterogeneous even among...
