Impaired autophagosomes and lysosomes in neuronopathic Gaucher disease.

Abstract excerpt

Gaucher disease is an inherited autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations of acid β-glucosidase, a lysosomal hydrolase specific for degradation of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine in the glycosphingolipid metabolic pathway. Clinically, Gaucher disease is classified into three types: type 1 is a visceral disease, whereas types 2 and 3 are acute and chronic neuronopathic variants, respectively. In...
