A-Z Illnesses and Conditions Gaucher's Disease by Dr Trisha Macnair and Dr Rob Hicks What are the symptoms? Screening is available Gaucher's disease was first described by a French physician called Philippe Charles Ernest Gaucher in 1882. It's a rare genetic metabolic disorder, of a type often known as a storage disease - and results from a specific enzyme deficiency in the body. People with Gaucher disease lack the normal form of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase and are unable to break down a chemical called glucocerebriside which remains stored in macrophage cells and stops them from functioning normally. It's called a 'storage disease' because these cells are 'stored' and accumulate in various parts of the body such as the liver, spleen, lungs, lymph system and bones, instead of being expelled. In more severe cases, which affect young children, they also accumulate in the central nervous system. What are the symptoms?

Three clinical forms (phenotypes) of Gaucher's disease are commonly recognized. The first category, called type 1, is by far the most common. Patients in this group usually bruise easily and experience fatigue due to anemia, low blood platelets, enlargement of the liver and spleen, weakening of the skeleton, and in some instances, lung and kidney impairment. There are no signs of brain involvement. The onset of clinical manifestations may be early in life, or delayed until adulthood. The second group is classified as type 2. In this form, liver and spleen enlargement are apparent by 3 months of age. In addition, there is extensive and progressive brain damage. These patients usually die by 2 years of age.

50. The NTSAD Diseases Family: Gaucher Disease This overview focuses on Type I Gaucher disease, the most common form of the disease. Gaucher disease, like TaySachs, is an autosomal recessive disorder. http://www.ntsad.org/pages/gaucher.htm

Gaucher Disease IN 1882, PHILLIPE GAUCHER, A French physician, described the clinical disorder that now bears his name. Since his original description, many investigators have contributed to our understanding of Gaucher Disease. In the early 1900's, American physicians were the first to recognize its familial transmission and to characterize further the pathology of the disease. Although early investigations suggested that the disease was due to a metabolic disorder, it was not until 1965 that the specific metabolic defect, a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, was identified. We now recognize that the disease has three subtypes: Type I, II and III. A ll three types of Gaucher Disease are inherited storage diseases, and all result from the deficiency of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, which is necessary for the breakdown of a particular fatty substance, glucocerebroside. This fatty substance is normally present in very small amounts in all body cells, but in patients with Gaucher Disease, glucocerebroside is not broken down as it should be and becomes abnormally stored, primarily in unique cells called Gaucher cells. T he major disease manifestations are due to the progressive storage of glucocerebroside in Gaucher cells in the bone marrow, spleen and liver. Gaucher cells in the bone marrow can cause bone and joint pain, fractures and other orthopedic problems. Accumulation of Gaucher cells in the spleen and liver causes enlargement of these organs as well as blood abnormalities such as anemia, easy bruising and impaired blood clotting. In a small number of persons with Gaucher Disease, glucocerebroside also accumulates in the central nervous system, leading to neurological damage.

The mission of the NGF is to find a cure for Gaucher Disease by funding vital research programs, to meet the ever- increasing needs of patients and families, as well as to promote community/physician awareness and educational programs. The NGF offers a variety of services and programs including regional chapter meetings, patient support groups, international conferences, as well as the CARE Program and the Care+Plus Program which provide critical financial assistance to individuals with Gaucher Disease. The NGF also publishes a quarterly newsletter featuring informative columns about exercise, medical questions, personal stories and research updates. There is a $35 membership fee which entitles members to a 12 month subscription to the Gaucher Disease Newsletter, discounts on conferences and seminar registrations, and all NGF publications and materials. The NGF has funded millions of dollars in research dealing with various enzyme replacement therapies, alternative treatments and gene therapy. Currently, the NGF is funding ground-breaking research on the gene replacement therapy which would ultimately cure Gaucher Disease. Success in this research would lead the way to finding cures for hundreds of genetic disorders.

Enzymes within lysosomes break down or "digest" nutrients, including certain complex carbohydrates and fats. In Gaucher disease certain fats, known as glycolipids, abnormally accumulate in the body because of the lack of the enzyme, glucocerebrosidase. This accumulation or "storage" of lipids leads to the various symptoms or physical findings associated with a lysosomal storage disease. Gaucher disease is the most common type of lysosomal storage disorder. Symptoms Researchers have identified three distinct forms of Gaucher disease separated by the absence (Type I) or presence and extent (Type II or Type III) of neurological complications. The majority of affected individuals have Gaucher disease type I, which lacks any neurological complications. The specific symptoms present in individuals with Gaucher disease vary greatly from case to case. Some individuals exhibit few or no symptoms (asymptomatic); others experience chronic, and sometimes severe, complications.
