Abstract:Introduction: Gaucher's disease (GD) is an autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disorder that results from hereditary deficiency of the acid glucocerebrosidase enzyme, encoded by the GBA gene necessary for the degradation of glucosylceramide. Objective: molecularly characterize the variants found in the GBA gene present in patients from the Southwest of Colombia with GD. Material and methods: 19 patients were included in the study, clinically and enzymatically diagnosed with GD. A molecular analysis of the GB… Show more
