Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucosylsphingosine is a cytotoxic compound. Accumulation of glucosylsphingosine in brain and other tissues occurs in patients with Gaucher disease, which is an inherited deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, which converts glucosylsphingosine to glucose and sphingosine.

Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by mutations on the GBA1 gene leading to deficiency in acid β-glucosidase (GCase) and subsequent accumulation of its substrates, glucosylceramide (GlcC) and glucosylsphingosine (GlcS). GlcS in plasma has been proposed as a highly sensitive and

Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by a deficiency of β-glucosidase (GCase), leading to accumulation of glucosylceramide (GlcC) and glucosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb1). Lyso-Gb1 is a reliable biomarker for GD. This study aims to develop a simple, effective and accurate method for the

Splenectomy in children with the Norrbottnian type of Gaucher disease is followed by increased blood levels of glucosylceramide and impaired neurological and mental status. High blood levels are associated with an increased accumulation of glucosylceramide in perivascular Gaucher cells in

Chronic Gaucher disease [GD] in association with systemic AL amyloidosis is extremely rare. We describe a 46-year-old Greek male with chronic GD confirmed by low glucocerebroside activity in fibroblasts and N370S/L444P mutations at the cerebrosidase gene, who also had systemic
Ellen Sidransky
Molecular genetics and metabolism, 83(1-2), 6-15 (2004-10-07)
Gaucher disease, the recessively inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase and the most common sphingolipidosis, has both non-neurological and neuronopathic forms and a continuum of diverse clinical manifestations. Studies of genotype-phenotype correlations reveal significant genotypic heterogeneity among clinically similar patients
