Glucocerebrosidase 2 gene deletion rescues type 1 Gaucher disease.
The inherited deficiency of the lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GBA) due to mutations in the GBA gene results in Gaucher disease (GD). A vast majority of patients present with nonneuronopathic, type 1 GD (GD1). GBA deficiency causes the accumulation of two key sphingolipids, glucosylceramide (GL-1) and glucosylsphingosine (LysoGL-1), classically noted within the lysosomes of mononuclear phagocyte...
متن کاملGlucocerebrosidase mutations in Gaucher disease.
BACKGROUND Thirty-six mutations that cause Gaucher disease, the most common glycolipid storage disorder, are known. Although both alleles of most patients with the disease contain one of these mutations, in a few patients one or both disease-producing alleles have remained unidentified. Identification of mutations in these patients is useful for genetic counseling. MATERIALS AND METHODS The D...

متن کاملA new gene-pseudogene fusion allele due to a recombination in intron 2 of the glucocerebrosidase gene causes Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is the most prevalent sphingolipid storage disorder in humans caused by a recessively inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. More than 100 mutations have been described in the glucocerebrosidase gene causing Gaucher disease. Some of them are complex alleles with several mutations due to recombination events between the gene and its highly homologous pseudogene. T...
