Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease is the most prevalent lysosomal storage disease and it results from inherited deficient glucocerebrosidase activity. The glucocerebrosidase gene from normal people was sequenced by several laboratories and it was noted that a G or A nucleotide may be present at cDNA position 1601, resulting in 495arginine or 495histidine in the glucocerebrosidase polypeptide. In order to rule out the possibility...
