Definition
English
:
An autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid
beta-glucosidase
(
GLUCOSYLCERAMIDASE
) leading to intralysosomal accumulation of glycosylceramide mainly in
cells
of the
MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM
. The characteristic Gaucher
cells
, glycosphingolipid-filled
HISTIOCYTES
, displace normal
cells
in
BONE MARROW
and visceral organs causing skeletal deterioration, hepatosplenomegaly, and organ dysfunction. There are several subtypes based on the presence and severity of neurological involvement.
