Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD), caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA), is the most common human glycolipid storage disease. The incidence of the disease is particularly high in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, with a carrier frequency of 0.068. The 1226A-->G and 84GG mutations are the two predominant disease-causing alleles. We investigated the association of various mutations in the GBA...
