Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Biomarkers to monitor neurological dysfunction in Neuronopathic Gaucher disease (NGD) are lacking. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a technique which allows us to probe the microstructure of the white-matter of the brain, in-vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of DTI to visualise and quantify white matter integrity in children with NGD and Type I Gaucher. DESIGN: DTI was performed...
