Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most frequent lysosomal glycolipid storage disorder due to autosomal recessive deficiency of acid beta-glucosidase and is characterized by the accumulation of glucocerebroside. In this work we carried out molecular analysis of the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) in 57 unrelated patients and the alleleic frequencies of gene mutations in Turkish patients are reported. The most prevalent...
