Abstract excerpt
We have investigated several parameters of glucocerebrosidase in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with various clinical phenotypes of Gaucher disease. In this study no strict correlation was found between the clinical manifestations of Gaucher disease and the parameters investigated in fibroblasts. These parameters included the specific activity of the enzyme in extracts towards natural lipid and...
