Insights into skeletal involvement in adult Gaucher disease: a single-center experience.

J Bone Miner Metab

January 2025

Medical Faculty, Department of Pediatric Metabolism and Nutrition, Ege University, Izmir, 35040, Turkey.

Introduction: Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder causing systemic and skeletal complications. This study evaluates bone health in adult GD type 1 patients, focusing on skeletal complications, bone mineral density (BMD), and biochemical markers.

Material And Methods: A cohort of adult GD type 1 patients followed up at Ege University Pediatric Metabolism Department were retrospectively examined.

There are currently at least 70 characterised lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) resultant from inherited single-gene defects. Of these, at least 30 present with central nervous system (CNS) neurodegeneration and overlapping aetiology. Substrate accumulation and dysfunctional neuronal lysosomes are common denominator, but how variants in 30 different genes converge on this central cellular phenotype is unclear.

Emerging biomarkers in Gaucher disease.

Adv Clin Chem

Center for Orphan Drug Research, Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, College of Pharmacy, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, United States. Electronic address:

Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare lysosomal disorder characterized by the accumulation of glycosphingolipids in macrophages resulting from glucocerebrosidase (GCase) deficiency. The accumulation of toxic substrates, which causes the hallmark symptoms of GD, is dependent on the extent of enzyme dysfunction. Accordingly, three distinct subtypes have been recognized, with type 1 GD (GD1) as the common and milder form, while types 2 (GD2) and 3 (GD3) are categorized as neuronopathic and severe.

African ancestry neurodegeneration risk variant disrupts an intronic branchpoint in .

medRxiv

February 2024

Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias, National Institute on Aging and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Recently, a novel African ancestry specific Parkinson's disease (PD) risk signal was identified at the gene encoding glucocerebrosidase (). This variant (rs3115534-G) is carried by ~50% of West African PD cases and imparts a dose-dependent increase in risk for disease. The risk variant has varied frequencies across African ancestry groups, but is almost absent in European and Asian ancestry populations.
