Additional Information:

Diagnosis GeneReviews Gaucher disease (referred to as GD in this entry) is suspected in individuals with characteristic bone lesions, hepatosplenomegaly and hematologic changes, or signs of CNS involvement [Mistry et al 2011]. Clinical findings alone are not diagnostic. ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Gaucher disease (GD) encompasses a spectrum of clinical findings from a perinatal-lethal form to an asymptomatic form. However, for the purposes of determining prognosis and management, the classification of GD by clinical subtype is still useful in describing the wide range of clinical findings and broad variability in presentation. Three major clinical types are delineated by the absence (type 1) or presence (types 2 and 3) of primary central nervous system involvement (Table 3)....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews The amount of residual glucosylceramidase enzyme activity as measured in vitro from extracts of nucleated cells does not correlate with disease type or severity. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Saposin C deficiency or prosaposin deficiency. Saposin C is a cofactor for glucosylceramidase in the hydrolysis of GL1. Saposin C is derived from proteolytic cleavage of prosaposin, which is encoded by a gene on chromosome 10q21-q22. Individuals with saposin C deficiency or prosaposin deficiency may present with symptoms characteristic of severe neuropathic Gaucher disease (GD) (i.e., progressive horizontal ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal and cerebellar signs, myoclonic jerks, and generalized seizures) [Pampols et al 1999, Qi & Grabowski 2001] or non-neuronopathic disease [Tylki-Szymanska et al 2007]. These individuals demonstrate GL1 accumulation and visceromegaly but have normal glucosylceramidase enzyme activity measured in vitro. ...
