What do you know about gaucher disease? Gaucher's disease is a rare, familial disorder of fat metabolism. It's caused by an enzyme deficency. It's diagnosed through liver, spleen or bone marrow biopsy. Although the mortality rate is high, children who survive adolescence can live on for many years. It's also called glucosyl cerebroside lipidosis. I'm afraid I don't know much about it beyond this but if you are asking because you have a child with Gaucher's, rather than visit a website, I think you should locate a genetic counselor who can advise you. Ask your pediatrician for a referral. i just dont want it ,,,gotcha ? i know that it is a genetic disorder nothing! but i bet web md does Absolutely nothing! Sorry. |
