Key to efficient therapy. Gaucher Disease is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disorder. The disease is caused by glucocerebrosidase deficiency due to mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene. Impaired enzyme activity results in a heterogeneous range of clinical manifestations, including enlarged spleen and liver, anemia, thrombocytopenia, bone lesions, bone marrow suppression, hyperpigmentation and neurologic complications. Enzyme replacement therapy may offer clinical amelioration and an improved quality of life. Glucocerebrosidase deficiency leads to accumulation of glycolipids within the reticulo-endothelial system. The resulting condition, Gaucher Disease, is recessively inherited and caused by mutations in the GBA gene. Most of these are point mutations, but some common ones are due to genetic rearrangement between the GBA gene and the highly homologous pseudogene. ViennaLab's Gaucher Disease StripAssay® offers an easy way to identify the most frequent mutations and recombinant alleles in the GBA gene.
