Cauda equina syndrome due to an intra-dural sacral cyst in type-1 Gaucher disease.
[ "The authors report a rare case of type-1 Gaucher disease with neurological and haematological involvement. The first onset was epilepsy, the diagnosis of GD1 was then confirmed and the patient experienced parkinsonism. The biological analysis revealed monoclonal gammapathy and factor-II mutation. The patient's condition worsened due to cauda equina syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging and surgery revealed an intra-thecal sacral cyst which, to our knowledge, has not been reported previously; therefore, when confronted with the fractures commonly observed in GD1, other unusual causes of spinal cord and root compression should not be overlooked." ]

Gaucher disease and brucella: just a mere coincidence?
[ "Gaucher disease type I and brucellosis are chronic diseases with similar symptoms and physical signs though the former is the most common lysosomal storage disease and the latter is an infectious disease. The similarities between these diseases make differential diagnosis difficult. Immunodeficiency is a feature of Gaucher disease type I and increases the susceptibility towards infections. A Gaucher disease type I patient with brucellosis is presented with improvement after treatment of brucellosis." ]

[Type I Gaucher's disease--a rare genetic metabolic disease].
[ "Morbus Gaucher is a rare disease. It occurs once in 40,000 to 65,000 persons in the whole world. This is the most frequent lysosome disease in the clinics. This is the first lysosome disease used in perinatal diagnostics and the first one where enzyme therapy was implemented. Case of gaucher disease morbus type I was found in girl of age 14 in Cantonal hospital \"Dr. Irfan Ljubijankić\" in Bihać. The clinical investigations were carried out at the same hospital, and samples necessary for the further detailed biochemical analysis were taken together with all other relevant data for this disease. In this case, taking into account rules of distribution of certain genes responsible for transfer of characteristics and processes, and following genealogical series, it could be concluded that parents of our patient are heterozygotes (healthy) and carriers of Gaucher gene, and that 1/4 of their children are dominant homozygotes (healthy), 2/4 are heterozygotes (healthy) and carriers of Gaucher gene, and 1/4 of children, together with the patient, are recessive homozygotes, and carriers of Gaucher gene with expression of the type I of this disease. For therapy of Gaucher disease there are in the market two enzyme. Aglucerosis obtained from human placenta and imiglucerasis obtained from cells of ovarian of hamster. The second preparation is cheaper and it is in wide use. There are no differences in the activity, as well as in creation of antibodies--the enzyme entered in use for the first time in 1989, and since 1991 is in wide use. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, therapy is not possible due to the financial restrictions." ]

Marked clinical and histologic improvement in a patient with type-1 Gaucher's disease following long-term glucocerebroside substitution. A case report and review of current diagnosis and management.
[ "Type-1 Gaucher's disease represents the most common lysosomal storage disorder. With the introduction of enzyme replacement therapy, many of the clinical manifestations can be controlled. The functional deficiency of the lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase leads to deposition of glycosylceramide in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. We report the clinical and pathologic presentation of a patient with a florid type-1 Gaucher's disease who received long-term enzyme replacement therapy, which led to marked clinical improvement. A repeat liver biopsy performed at the time of a cholecystectomy several years after initiation of enzyme replacement therapy revealed complete resolution of Gaucher cells." ]

Gaucher's disease: identification of novel mutant alleles and genotype-phenotype relationships.
[ "A sequencing protocol for the acid beta-glucosidase (GCase) gene (GBA) was developed using a long-range PCR template. This protocol has an advantage of greater DNA yields over similar strategies. Seven Gaucher's disease patients had four novel and five other rare alleles. A non-pseudogene in-frame deletion (g.2600-2602delTAC) and a new complex mutation (null allele) were identified in Gaucher's disease type 1, i.e. the g.2600-2602delTAC deletion is associated with the non-neuronopathic variant. An F251L allele was found in a baby with the collodion skin phenotype. Three mutant alleles were identified in a single primary family with type 3. The patients' father at 45 years is healthy and is heteroallelic for the G202R and E326K alleles. Family studies indicated that E326K is in trans to G202R and L444P, and that isolated E326K is non-pathogenic in this family. A rare mutation R257Q was identified in a type 2 patient, providing an association with neuronopathic disease. A genotype L444P/L444P was noted in a 22-year-old non-neuronopathic patient. Complete gene sequencing showed a new complex allele consisting of L444P and g.7741T > C in the 3' UTR. Three additional complex alleles also involved the 3' UTR. Complete gene characterization in Gaucher's disease should allow greater insights into the correlation of specific alleles with phenotype." ]

Adult-onset neuronopathic form of Gaucher's disease: a case report.
[ "We report a patient with Gaucher's disease (GD) developing prominent neurological abnormalities in adult life confirming the existence of an adult neuronopathic form of GD. In this adult-onset form, an akinetic-rigid syndrome poorly responsive to dopatherapy, supranuclear gaze palsy, myoclonic jerks, seizures, cerebellar ataxia, cognitive and psychotic disturbances are frequent manifestations. The widely used clinical classification seems inadequate since it does not consider this rare form of GD.

Splenic lymphoma arising in a patient with Gaucher disease. A case report and review of the literature.
[ "Patients with Gaucher disease have an increased risk of malignancies, especially the lymphoreticular type. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Gaucher disease diagnosed during the workup and diagnosis of a splenic marginal-zone lymphoma with progression to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. There are several theories as to how Gaucher disease leads to malignancies. The accumulated glucocerebroside in the reticuloendothelial organs, histologically visible as Gaucher cells, is thought to provide chronic antigenic stimulus to the immune system. Polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia develops, and monoclonal populations of lymphocytes and plasma cells may arise from this premalignant proliferative state. How Gaucher disease is related to nonlymphoid malignancies remains unclear." ]

The osteodystrophy of mucolipidosis type III and the effects of intravenous pamidronate treatment.
[ "Mucolipidosis type III (ML III; McKusick 252600) is a rare lysosomal storage disease in which skeletal involvement is prominent, in particular the destruction of vertebral bodies and the femoral heads. We describe studies in two siblings with ML III that suggest the presence of a distinct metabolic bone disorder. Biochemical indices of bone turnover were increased, and transiliac bone biopsy demonstrated both trabecular osteopenia and marked subperiosteal bone resorption. Intravenous pamidronate treatment given monthly for a year was well tolerated and produced dramatic clinical effects, with reduction in bone pain and improvements in mobility, despite incomplete suppression of bone resorption as assessed by biochemical, radiographic and histological criteria. Bisphosphonate therapy may have an important role in the management of bone pain in ML III, as it does in the related lysosomal disorder of Gaucher disease." ]

Enzyme replacement therapy reduces Gaucher cell burden but may accelerate osteopenia in patients with type I disease - a histological study.
[ "Enzyme replacement treatment (ERT) is effective in controlling the clinical and biochemical manifestation of type I Gaucher disease. Little is known on the evolution of bone marrow histology caused by ERT. We compared the pretreatment trephine bone marrow biopsies in five patients (F32, F41, F50, M55, and M46) with the control biopsies performed after 26-32 months of imiglucerase treatment. The planimetric estimates revealed significant decrease in Gaucher cell burden in all the patients. The post-ERT values ranged from 24% to 65% of the initial total volumes occupied by the Gaucher cells. This resulted mainly from disappearance of Gaucher cells, and to a lesser extent from their shrinkage. Normal hemopoiesis was markedly increased in four of five patients, fat tissue in all the five patients. Surprisingly, the estimated volumes of trabecular bone in the control biopsies were significantly smaller than in the pre-ERT trephines (0.61%, 0.64%, 0.64%, 0.97%, and 0.22% of the initial volumes, P = 0.043). The bone loss correlated rather with the degree of reconstitution of normal hemopoiesis than with the decrease in the Gaucher cell burden. The histological response did not correlate strictly with initial clinical parameters and the genotype, with different reactions to ERT in two sibs (cases 3 and 4). Particularly, ERT alleviated bone manifestations in all four patients with previous bone pains or fractures. ERT may accelerate progress of osteopenia in men and premenopausal women. The clinical significance of this phenomenon remains to be established. Its mechanism may be linked to increased osteolytic activity exerted directly or indirectly by regenerating hemopoietic cells." ]

Enzyme therapy of gaucher disease: clinical and biochemical changes during production of and tolerization for neutralizing antibodies.
[ "The clinical impact of neutralizing antibodies directed against the therapeutic enzyme was investigated in patients with Gaucher disease. Two patients with Gaucher disease type 1 were followed for their clinical progression during antibody development and clinical changes during tolerization. Patient 1 developed neutralizing antibodies to imiglucerase (GCase) at the 10th month of enzyme therapy. Tolerization was achieved within a 42-month period with a short course of cyclophosphamide and then higher dose enzyme (60 IU/kg/week) alone. Patient 1 continues to improve up to 100 months of enzyme therapy despite the presence of low level in vitro neutralizing antibodies. Patient 2 developed neutralizing antibodies to GCase at the 29th month of enzyme therapy that correlated with clinical deterioration. Clinical stabilization has been observed with increased enzyme therapy (60 IU/kg/week) even in the presence of the neutralizing antibodies. Patient 2 is the first to develop neutralizing antibodies after 12 months of enzyme therapy. Plasma chitotriosidase activities were not well correlated with the clinical course in either patient. The presence of neutralizing antibodies should be suspected in Gaucher disease patients on enzyme therapy who experience diminished response or deterioration. The persistence of minimal amounts of in vitro neutralizing antibodies does not interfere with the therapeutic effectiveness. Chitotriosidase is not a sensitive marker for the severity of disease or disease progression." ]

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with monoclonal gammopathy-related pseudo-Gaucher cell infiltration in bone marrow and spleen--diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.
[ "Gaucher-like cells have occasionally been described in various haematological malignancies including Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). A special type of this phenomenon is crystal-storing histocytosis or the so-called pseudo-pseudo Gaucher cells (PPGC) in which crystalline protein storage in macrophages is induced by paraproteinemia. Here we describe a 54-year-old man with an initial suspicion of Gaucher disease and monoclonal IgA gammopathy in whom a correct diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) with massive infiltration of bone marrow and spleen by PPGC was confirmed by immunological, ultrastructural and molecular characterisation. The activity of leukocyte beta-glucocerebrosidase was only slightly elevated (7.3 nmol/mg protein/1 h) which ruled out the diagnosis of classic Gaucher's disease. The patient received two courses of CHOP without improvement and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab) with only temporary stabilisation. Subsequently, he underwent splenectomy because of prolonged severe pancytopenia and a suspicion of hypersplenism. After splenectomy significant haematological improvement was observed. Following anti-CD20 therapy, changes in immunoprofile and morphology of tumour cells were evident. Before treatment the population of LPL was more divergent, with expression of LCA, CD20, CD38 and CD138. However, after the treatment, there were more mature plasma cells which no longer expressed CD20 antigen-this picture was more consistent with the diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma. Similarly, in the spleen there were no CD-20-positive cells evident. Finally, the patient received two courses of VAD vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) with further haematological improvement but complete response was not achieved." ]

Rebound hepatosplenomegaly in type 1 Gaucher disease.
[ "A 19-year-old male patient with type 1 Gaucher disease was put on regular biweekly infusions of alglucerase. After 1 yr of treatment, hepatic and splenic volumes decreased from 38 and 45 mL/kg to 31 and 34 mL/kg, respectively. In addition, hemoglobin concentration, platelet count and white cell count increased, acid phosphatase level decreased, and the patient gained weight and energy. Despite improvement, the patient refused enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) because of muscle rigidity, chest pain, trembling and anxiety, which he attributed to enzyme substitution. Two and 4.5 year after cessation of therapy, hepatic and splenic volumes increased to 36 and 53 mL/kg and to 53 and 110 mL/kg, respectively. The patient developed non-tractable hematuria because of compression and dislocation of the left kidney by the enlarged spleen, which necessitated splenectomy. This report suggests that cessation of ERT in Gaucher disease may result in severe and complicated rebound visceromegaly." ]

At that time, bone marrow aspirate and liver biopsy did not reveal any engorged cells. The clinical course was marked by early progressive portal hypertension, and the patient died of uncontrollable upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The histological results of the postmortem showed that Gaucher cells were present in the liver, spleen and bone marrow.

Gaucher disease associated with parkinsonism: four further case reports.
[ "Type 1 Gaucher disease is considered the non-neuronopathic form of this autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease. We report the simultaneous occurrence of Gaucher disease with parkinsonian in four adult patients. The patients had a relatively early onset of parkinsonian manifestations, and their disease was rapidly progressive and refractory to therapy. Each had a different Gaucher genotype, although four alleles carried the common N370S mutation. No mutations were identified in the genes for parkin or alpha-synuclein. The concurrence of these two phenotypes, both in this series of patients and in others in the literature, suggests a shared pathway, modifier, or other genetic etiology." ]

Subarachnoid anesthesia in a patient with type I Gaucher disease.
[ "Gaucher's disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by lack or functional insufficiency of glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme accountable for intracellular hydrolysis of glucosyl ceramide and other glycosphingolipids, which results in macrophage storage in the mononuclear-macrophage system. The severity of Gaucher's disease is correlated with the extent to which the central nervous system is involved. It is associated with the so-called Gaucher's cells in the bone marrow, but is specifically diagnosed by showing enzyme acid beta-glucosidase activity in a sample of blood leukocyte or cultured macrophages from skin biopsy. In the last 10 years, an enzyme replacement therapy (alglucerase) for the disease has been available, which has significantly changed approaches to its treatment. Here we report the case of a 56-year-old female patient with type I Gaucher's disease who underwent surgery for subcapital hip fracture with subarachnoid anesthesia. Type I Gaucher's disease clinical and pathophysiologic aspects relevant to anesthetic management are discussed.

Gaucher's disease: morphological findings in a case studied with fine needle aspiration.
[ "Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a diagnostic tool whose inexpensiveness, simplicity and innocuousness have led it to be increasingly accepted in daily medical practice. This method, which is useful for the study of lesions that are accessible by radiological exploration or palpation, provides information about the cytological aspects of punctured lesions.

Gaucher disease: in vivo evidence for allele dose leading to neuronopathic and nonneuronopathic phenotypes.
[ "Gaucher disease, a common lysosomal storage disorder, is associated with mutations at the acid beta-glucosidase (GCase) locus. Two affected individuals are described to share a common mutant allele, but manifest different clinical categorical phenotypes. A 57-year-old female, with Gaucher disease type 1 and Cherokee ancestry, was homozygous for a rare mutant allele encoding Lys79Asn (K79N). A 2-year-old Caucasian male, with Gaucher disease type 3 and Cherokee ancestry, was a heteroallelic homozygote for this same allele (K79N) and a novel complex mutation (null allele). The shared alleles were identical as determined by complete gene sequencing, suggesting a founder effect. The discrepant phenotypes (types 1 and 3) in these two patients provide support for a threshold of residual activity necessary to \"protect\" the central nervous system (CNS) from the pathogenic effects of Gaucher disease, indicating an allele dose-effect. Designation of genotype associations with specific phenotypes must be assessed with this perspective." ]

Symptoms of cerebral paralysis, impaired mental function and cerebellar ataxia had developed gradually. Patient's karyotype was 46,XY. Laboratory tests for cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex virus, Toxoplasma gondii, human immunodeficiency virus, rubella and hepatitis B virus were negative. Further laboratory investigation showed no signs of Tay-Sachs disease, Niemann-Pick disease, Gaucher disease, phenylketonuria, galactosemia or glycogen storage disease. No congenital malformations were traced in other family members for three generations. Radiation exposure and infections during the pregnancy were refuted." ]

Enzyme replacement therapy in the management of longstanding skeletal and soft tissue salmonella infection in a patient with Gaucher's disease.
[ "A splenectomised patient with Gaucher's disease who developed multiple foci of osteomyelitis and soft tissue abcesses, after a severe episode of group C salmonella sepsis, is described. Aggressive antibiotic treatment and surgical drainage had little effect and the patient's condition continued to deteriorate. With initiation of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in addition to specific antibiotic treatment, defervescence and gradual healing occurred. Complete resolution of the infection was seen after 15 months. The possible role of ERT in healing bacterial infections in Gaucher's disease is discussed." ]

Multiple hypoechoic hepatic lesions in a patient with Gaucher disease.

We describe the case of a patient with Gaucher disease who had cachexia, massive hepatomegaly, and multiple focal hepatic lesions. The clinical and radiologic findings suggested malignancy. A biopsy specimen was taken from a hepatic lesion and revealed infiltration by Gaucher cells.

Mesenteric mass in a young girl--an unusual site for Gaucher's disease.
[ "We report the first case of a child with Gaucher's disease and a large mesenteric mass, confirmed histologically to be Gaucher's cell infiltrates. We describe the radiological findings and discuss further management. The advent of enzyme replacement therapy has prolonged survival and the emergence of previously undocumented manifestations of the disease is being observed.

Cemented revision total hip arthroplasty with impaction bone grafting in Gaucher's disease.
[ "Total hip arthroplasty in Gaucher's disease has been associated with high rates of loosening after all types of arthroplasty. We present a patient with type 1 Gaucher's disease who underwent revision cemented total hip arthroplasty for aseptic loosening after 12 months of enzyme replacement therapy. Major osteolysis was managed by impaction morcellized bone grafting. An excellent clinical and radiographic result was obtained at 5-year follow-up.

Gaucher's disease with myocardial involvement in pregnancy.
[ "Described originally in 1882, Gaucher's disease is the most prevalent of storage disorders. This autosomal recessive disease is caused by a defective gene responsible for coding the beta-glucosidase enzyme, essential in the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide in glucose and ceramide. The accumulation of glucosylceramide in the lysosomes of the reticuloendothelial system produces a heterogeneous clinical picture with neurological involvement, liver and spleen enlargement, hematological disorders and bone lesions.", "Two pregnancies of a patient with Gaucher's disease are presented. The patient, who had been asymptomatic following earlier splenectomy, developed congestive heart failure due to myocardial involvement at the beginning of her first pregnancy, and responded to conservative treatment. In spite of this complication and also chronic anemia, hepatomegaly and ascites due to portal hypertension, the patient had two successful pregnancies with good perinatal results. No hemorrhagic complications were observed." ]

Application of delayed extraction-matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for analysis of sphingolipids in pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid and serum from Gaucher disease patients.
[ "Gaucher disease is a glycolipid storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of glucosylceramide. Using delayed extraction matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DE-MALDI-TOF-MS), we analyzed sphingolipids in pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and serum from two patients with Gaucher disease. Crude lipids were extracted from 1 ml each of pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and serum with chloroform and methanol. After mild alkaline treatment of the crude lipids, a sphingolipid fraction was prepared and analyzed by DE-MALDI-TOF-MS. The results were as follows: (a) in all the specimens, peaks of ceramide monohexoside and sphingomyelin were detected in both the controls and Gaucher disease patients; (b) in pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and serum, the ceramide monohexoside/sphingomyelin ratio was increased in the Gaucher disease patients compared with in the controls. It was indicated that the accumulation of ceramide monohexoside in such samples from Gaucher disease patients can be easily detected with this DE-MALDI-TOF-MS method." ]

Failure of resting echocardiography and cardiac catheterization to identify pulmonary hypertension in two patients with type I Gaucher disease.
[ "Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is a complication of Gaucher disease. Screening with echocardiography is recommended for Gaucher patients. Two patients naive to enzyme replacement therapy are presented in whom resting echocardiography revealed no evidence of PHT. One of the patients also had normal pulmonary artery pressures at cardiac catheterization. The diagnosis of PHT was made with open lung biopsy in one patient and dobutamine echocardiography in the other. In both cases, diagnosis of PHT altered patient management. Resting echocardiographic assessment may fail to identify PHT in patients with Gaucher disease." ]

Gaucher disease with nephrotic syndrome: response to enzyme replacement therapy.
[ "Nephrotic syndrome in patients with Gaucher disease is rare; most of the few reported cases have had a well-defined glomerulopathy often with Gaucher cells in the glomeruli. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with Gaucher disease, who had splenectomy at age 25, preeclampsia with renal biopsy disclosing only endotheliosis at age 32, and improvement of proteinuria and reappearance of heavy proteinuria (7.2 g/24 h) at age 41. Renal biopsy disclosed Gaucher cells in glomeruli and interstitium. The patient did not receive therapy specifically for glomerular disease. Enzyme replacement, begun 4 years later and maintained until now, was associated with amelioration of systemic symptoms and virtual disappearance of proteinuria with a follow-up of 10 years.

Glycolipid analysis of different tissues and cerebrospinal fluid in type II Gaucher disease.
[ "The lipid composition or the liver, spleen, brain, cerebellum and cerebrospinal fluid of a Gaucher disease type II patient who died at the age of 5 months was examined. The glycolipid analysis demonstrated a marked increase of total amounts not only in the peripheral tissues but also in the brain cerebellum and cerebrospinal fluid, with a prevalence of glucosylceramide. A reduction in gangliosides was observed in all the analysed tissues with a relative increase of GD3 in the nervous tissue. The fatty acid composition of glucosylceramide showed a prevalence of stearic acid in the central nervous system, while in the peripheral tissues palmitic acid was prevalent. This result suggests a different origin of the glucosylceramide stored in different tissues. The generalized reduction of gangliosides and their modified distribution together with the central nervous system GD3 increment represent a new observation. These data could be useful in the effort to clarify the pathophysiological mechanism of brain damage in neuronopathic Gaucher disease." ]

[ "A 20-month-old girl with developmental delay, dysmorphic features, horizontal supranuclear gaze palsy, retrocollis, and episodes of laryngospasm was diagnosed with variant neuronopathic Gaucher disease. The diagnosis was made enzymatically. Mutation analysis showed compound heterozygosity for D409H and a previously unreported mutation C16S. The presence of dysmorphic features, laryngospasm, absent cardiac findings, and the severe clinical phenotype distinguishes our case from other cases of variant neuronopathic Gaucher disease. We therefore propose to extend the spectrum of variant Gaucher disease." ]

Application of delayed extraction matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for analysis of sphingolipids in cultured skin fibroblasts from sphingolipidosis patients.
[ "Sphingolipidoses are caused by defects of enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of sphingolipids. Using delayed extraction matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DE MALDI-TOF-MS), we analyzed sphingolipids in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with sphingolipidoses, including: (a) Farber disease (FD, acid ceramidase deficiency); (b) Gaucher disease (GD); (c) Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPDC); and (d) GM1-gangliosidosis (GM1G). Crude lipids were extracted from about 50 mg wet weight of cultured skin fibroblasts. After mild alkaline treatment, a sphingolipid fraction was prepared from the crude lipids and analyzed by DE MALDI-TOF-MS. The results were as follows: (a) in fibroblasts from the FD patient, the ceramide/sphingomyelin and ceramide/monohexosylceramide ratios were both significantly high; (b) in the GD patient, the glucosylceramide/sphingomyelin ratio was increased; on the other hand; (c) in the NPDC patient, the monohexosylceramide/sphingomyelin ratio was within normal range; and (d) in the GM1G patient, no specific data were obtained. Sphingolipids in cultured fibroblasts can be evaluated by DE MALDI-TOF-MS, whereas GM1-ganglioside or its asialo derivatives are not detectable. With this DE MALDI-TOF-MS method, ceramide or monohexosylceramide accumulating in cultured fibroblasts from cases of sphingolipidoses, such as FD and GD, respectively, can be easily detected." ]

Successful pregnancy outcome in a patient with Gaucher's disease and antiphospholipid syndrome.
[ "Gaucher's disease is characterized by increased incidence of several autoantibodies, but autoimmune phenomena are rare in Gaucher patients. We report the first occurrence of Gaucher's disease and antiphospholipid syndrome in the same patient. A 27-year-old woman with hepatosplenomegaly and thrombocytopenia who was diagnosed as having Gaucher's disease with the genotype 1226G/1226G developed Coombs'-positive hemolytic anemia, recurrent abortions, and a high titer of IgG and IgM anticardiolipin antibodies constituting the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. A successful pregnancy outcome was achieved by combined therapy with aspirin, low-molecular-weight heparin, prednisone, and enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase. The possible pathogenicity of antiphospholipid antibodies found in the sera of many asymptomatic Gaucher patients should be further clarified." ]

Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of Gaucher's cells--five case reports.
[ "Gaucher's disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease resulting from glucocerebrosidase deficiency. In this report, five patients with adult Gaucher's disease are described. The clinical course of these patients was characterized by progressive diffuse aseptic necrosis in the large bones, so-called Erlenmeyer's flask deformity, and hepatosplenomegaly. Splenomegaly was accompanied by hypersplenism with anemia and thrombocytopenia, therefore splenectomy was performed. The diagnosis of Gaucher's disease was based on the finding of Gaucher's cells on bone marrow biopsy. Tissue blocks were cut and routinely processed. Slides staining for iron (Peris' blue) and PAS (periodic acid--Schiff) including immunohistochemical staining for CD68 and HLA-DR was performed in all five cases. Gaucher's cells were seen as large cells with granular or fibrillar distended cytoplasm, with the characteristic 'wrinkled tissue paper' appearance, and eccentric nuclei. PAS staining showed strongly positive granular or fibrillar material in the cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical stain for CD68 and HLA-DR helped identify isolated Gaucher's cells, which are hystiocytic in nature. This stain accentuates their fine linear striations. Small pieces were ultrastructurally analyzed." ]

Early-onset severe neurological involvement and D409H homozygosity in Gaucher disease: outcome of enzyme replacement therapy.
[ "Gaucher disease, in most cases, is the result of mutations in the beta-glucocerebrosidase gene. More than 150 such mutations have been identified so far. Mutation D409H is the second most frequent in Greek patients, accounting for 15.5% of all identified mutated alleles. D409H homozygosity has, so far, been associated with a unique type III subtype of Gaucher disease that is characterized by the presence of devastating valvular heart disease, oculomotor apraxia, and, sometimes, features normally associated with mucopolysaccharidoses or oligosaccharidoses. Common manifestations of Gaucher disease tend to be less evident or even absent. We report the first Greek patient bearing the D409H/D409H genotype with onset of the disease in the first months of life and a phenotype dominated by severe neurological involvement.

Gaucher disease with pulmonary involvement in a 6-year-old girl: report of resolution of radiographic abnormalities on increasing dose of imiglucerase.
[ "We report resolution of ground-glass appearance in high-resolution computed tomography of chest in a 6-year-old girl who had Gaucher disease with pulmonary involvement. This radiographic abnormality, which developed during the course of enzyme replacement therapy at doses between 20 to 60 U/kg/2 weeks, resolved when the dose was increased to 100 U/kg/2 weeks. This case illustrates the importance of trial of escalating dosage in the face of failure of response at lower doses." ]

Heterologous expression and characterization of a rare Gaucher disease mutation (c.481C > T) from a Canadian aboriginal population using archival tissue samples.
[ "Gaucher disease is an inherited sphingolipidosis resulting from deleterious mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene. Through direct sequence analysis of genomic DNA from whole blood, fibroblast cultures, and formalin-fixed archival tissue samples, we have identified a rare homozygous C > T transition at cDNA nucleotide 481 of the glucocerebrosidase gene that results in a proline to serine amino acid substitution (p.P122S) in an aboriginal family of Cree descent in northern Alberta, Canada. A 13-month-old boy (JB) presented with severe visceral Gaucher disease and was treated with enzyme replacement. Currently, at 11 years he is developmentally delayed, with oculomotor apraxia. A cousin (MS) had previously died at age 7 from complications of severe Gaucher disease, before enzyme replacement therapy was available. She was also developmentally delayed. Heterologous expression of this allele using a baculovirus expression system revealed 19.2% of normal enzyme activity on the artificial substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-d-glucopyranoside (4MUGP). Genotype/phenotype correlation is complicated by incomplete clinical details, enzyme replacement therapy, and the difficulty in excluding other genetic and environmental causes of developmental delay. However the development of oculomotor apraxia in JB suggests a Type 3 Gaucher phenotype. The only previous report of this mutation was also from a member of the Cree Nation, who has had a rather similar clinical course. A protocol is described for the isolation of genomic DNA from formalin-fixed bone marrow aspirate archival specimens obtained from the deceased for subsequent PCR-based sequence analysis and mutation detection. This technique will be applicable to the screening of this and other populations for the frequency of known Gaucher mutations where traditional DNA sources are unavailable." ]

Mutation analysis of the acid beta-glucosidase gene in a patient with type 3 Gaucher disease and neutralizing antibody to alglucerase.
[ "The beneficial effects of macrophage-targeted glucocerebrosidase (alglucerase, Ceredase) in patients with Gaucher disease are well established. A minority of recipients develop transient non-neutralizing antibodies to the exogenous enzyme. A 7-year-old patient with type 3 Gaucher disease, whose clinical course began to deteriorate while receiving alglucerase developed a progressively increasing titer of IgG antibody, that blocked the catalytic activity of alglucerase. We investigated the acid beta-glucosidase genotype in this patient. Direct sequencing of both cDNA and genomic PCR products was used to characterize the mutations underlying acid beta-glucosidase deficiency. The patient was shown to be a compound heterozygote for a previously reported missense mutation (G377S), and a novel single nucleotide deletion (g5255delT). The transcript originating from the latter allele was undetectable in RT-PCR experiments. We report the first characterization of a GBA genotype associated with the development of neutralizing antibody to alglucerase, in a patient affected with type 3 Gaucher disease. Our results may help to shed light on the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon which, in the rare instances where it occurs, hampers the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy." ]

Gaucher disease type I: analysis of two cases with thalassemic facies and pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas.
[ "Here we report two unusual patients with Gaucher disease type I. Both girls admitted with hepatosplenomegaly, growth retardation, and anemia at four and 2.5 years of age, and Gaucher cells were seen on bone marrow aspirates. Thalassemic face was first noted at 8 and 11 years of age, respectively, with frontal bossing and maxillary hypertrophia. Although they had unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, high reticulocytes, polychromasia, and normoblasts on peripheral smear, other laboratory tests for hemolytic disease were negative. Radiological examination revealed typical bone involvement of Gaucher disease, as well as costal enlargement and obliteration of paranasal sinuses, the latter two reported in hemolytic diseases. Cyanosis, digital clubbing and recurrent lung infections led to contrast echocardiography that revealed diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous shunting in both. Diagnosis was confirmed by low leukocyte beta glucosidase levels and mutations N370S7/L444P (Case 1) and N370S/? (Case 2). These features, all reported for the first time, may show a new clinical course in Gaucher disease." ]

Initiation of enzyme replacement therapy for an adult patient with asymptomatic type 1 Gaucher's disease.
[ "A 27-year-old woman was admitted for further examination of thrombocytopenia. Symptoms were absent, but physical examination demonstrated hepatosplenomegaly without neurological abnormalities. Bone marrow examination revealed many Gaucher cells, and glucocerebrosidase activity from cultured skin fibroblasts was markedly reduced. A 1448C (L444P) mutation was detected on one allele of the glucocerebrosidase gene. Because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the femora indicated severe infiltration of Gaucher cells into bone marrow, enzyme replacement therapy was initiated despite the absence of skeletal symptoms. Hematologic abnormalities, visceral and bone involvement have been improving. In cases of thrombocytopenia or hepatosplenomegaly, Gaucher's disease should be suspected." ]

Gaucher disease and parkinsonism: a phenotypic and genotypic characterization.
[ "Among the many phenotypes associated with Gaucher disease, the inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, are reports of patients with parkinsonian symptoms. The basis for this association is unknown, but could be due to alterations in the gene or gene region. The human glucocerebrosidase gene, located on chromosome 1q21, has a nearby pseudogene that shares 96% identity. Immediately adjacent to the glucocerebrosidase pseudogene is a convergently transcribed gene, metaxin, which has a pseudogene that is located just downstream to the glucocerebrosidase gene. We describe a patient with mild Gaucher disease but impaired horizontal saccadic eye movements who developed a tremor at age 42, followed by rapid deterioration of her gait. A pallidotomy at age 47 was unsuccessful. Her motor and cognitive deterioration progressed despite enzyme replacement therapy. Sequencing of the glucocerebrosidase gene identified mutations L444P and D409H. Southern blot analysis using the enzyme SspI showed that the maternal allele had an additional 17-kb band. PCR amplifications and sequencing of this fragment demonstrated a duplication which included the glucocerebrosidase pseudogene, metaxin gene, and a pseudometaxin/metaxin fusion. Gene alterations associated with this novel rearrangement, resulting from a crossover between the gene for metaxin and its pseudogene, could contribute to the atypical phenotype encountered in this patient." ]

Pseudo-osteomyelitic crisis upon presentation of Gaucher disease.
[ "We report on a 4-year-old boy adopted from Paraguay who presented with an acute onset of thigh pain. Initial clinical, imaging, and histopathologic findings suggested florid osteomyelitis. However, the development of pancytopenia on intravenous antibiotics prompted further investigation and the ultimate diagnosis of Gaucher disease. In retrospect, characteristic changes on conventional radiographic and MR images, as well as growth of a contaminant organism, pointed to the diagnosis of pseudo-osteomyelitis rather than osteomyelitis." ]

Mild thrombocytopenia as presenting symptom of type 1 Gauchers's disease.
[ "A young woman was examined for a mild thrombocytopenia which was present for some months. No signs of bleeding had so far occurred. Physical examination was normal except for a moderately enlarged spleen. Laboratory investigations showed a low platelet count. There was no evidence of an autoimmune or hematologic disease. Bone narrow aspirate indicated Gaucher's-like cells raising the suspicion of Gaucher's disease. This was further supported by electron microscopic demonstration of Gaucher's bodies in crista biopsy specimens. However, the definitive diagnosis was obtained by verifying deficient lysosomal glucosylceramide-beta-D-glucosidase activity in peripheral blood leukocytes. Upon the absence of neurologic involvement the patient was typical for the adult-onset or type 1 form of Gaucher's disease." ]

Severe valvular and aortic arch calcification in a patient with Gaucher's disease homozygous for the D409H mutation.
[ "Gaucher's disease is an autosomal recessive inherited defect of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which leads to glucocerebroside accumulation in the reticuloendothelial system. Homozygosity for the D409H mutation has been associated with cardiovascular valvular disease. We present a case of a 17-year-old Palestinian patient who presented with severe aortic and mitral valvular calcification, as well as calcification of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the ostia of his coronary arteries. The patient was confirmed to be homozygous for the D409H mutation in the glucocerebrosidase gene. The patient's enzyme assay for glucocerebrosidase activity was 5 nm/h/mg protein (normal 13-22 nm/h/mg). The patient presented with symptoms of dyspnea and chest pain. He had a 6-year history of documented aortic valve calcification by echocardiogram after two of his older brothers died of congestive heart failure and severe valvular calcification. Cardiac catheterization showed a severely calcified aorta with almost no motion of the aortic valve leaflets and severe calcification of the mitral valve and the mitral valvular apparatus. The patient underwent extensive cardiac surgery with aortic and mitral valve replacements and intraoperative findings confirmed calcification of the entire aortic root. Electron microscopy of the valves confirmed the presence of Gaucher's cells. Enzyme therapy with imiglucerase was initiated. The patient is in stable condition, 20 months post-operatively." ]

Improvement of splenomegaly and pancytopenia by enzyme replacement therapy against type 1 Gaucher disease: a report of sibling cases.
[ "Gaucher disease is a genetic lipid storage disease and represents a potentially serious health problem. It arises from a deficiency of glucocerebrosidase activity with secondary accumulation of large quantities of glucocerebroside. Symptoms are usually multisystemic, often debilitating or disabling, and sometimes disfiguring, and they can lead to death. We report objective clinical response's to repeated infusion of human placental and recombinant glucocerebrosidase in 2 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease and increased hemoglobin levels and platelet counts. Splenic volume decreased during the period of enzyme administration. Enzyme replacement therapy has improved the treatment of type 1 Gaucher disease by safely and effectively arresting, decreasing, or normalizing many of its major signs and symptoms. Consideration by physicians must be given to Gaucher disease, and appropriate treatments must be given when confronted with cryptogenic pancytopenia or hepatosplenomegaly." ]

Type II Gaucher disease: compound heterozygote with RecNciI and L444P mutations.
[ "We report the phenotype and genotype of an Indonesian Chinese boy with type II Gaucher disease. He had a unique presentation of recurrent cyanosis from laryngospasm. He was compound heterozygous for L444P/L444P + A456P + V460V. There have been few reports of this heterozygosity and its phenoptype. This genotype-phenotype correlation will be important for physicians in genetic counselling. Type II Gaucher disease in Southeast Asia may not be as rare as was perceived, but may be a condition that is under-reported. The success of our technique together with the results have made it possible for us to perform prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection for the family." ]

High-grade lymphoma mimicking bone crisis in Gaucher's disease.
[ "A 33-year-old woman with type 1 Gaucher's disease developed painful swelling of her right tibia. Initial diagnostics suggested a typical bone crisis. However, clinical course and subsequent imaging pointed to malignant disease, which was specified as high-grade lymphoma. Chemotherapy was applied together with enzyme replacement and resulted in complete remission of the lymphoma. We conclude that osseous lesions, although suggestive of common manifestations of Gaucher's disease, should be discriminated very carefully from neoplastic infiltration to maintain curative treatment options." ]

A novel mutation in the coding region of the prosaposin gene leads to a complete deficiency of prosaposin and saposins, and is associated with a complex sphingolipidosis dominated by lactosylceramide accumulation.
[ "A fatal infantile storage disorder with hepatosplenomegaly and severe neurological disease is described. Sphingolipids, including monohexosylceramides (mainly glucosylceramide), dihexosylceramides (mainly lactosylceramide), globotriaosyl ceramide, sulphatides, ceramides and globotetraosyl ceramide, were stored in the tissues. In general, cholesterol and sphingomyelin levels were unaltered. The storage process was generalized and affected a number of cell types, with histiocytes, which infiltrated a number of visceral organs and the brain, especially involved. The ultrastructure of the storage lysosomes was membranous with oligolamellar, mainly vesicular, profiles. Infrequently, there were Gaucher-like lysosomes in histiocytes. The neuropathology was severe and featured neuronal storage and loss with a massive depopulation of cortical neurons and pronounced fibrillary astrocytosis. There was a paucity of myelin and stainable axons in the white matter with signs of active demyelination. Immunohistochemical investigations indicated that saposins A, B, C and D were all deficient. The patient was homozygous for a 1 bp deletion (c.803delG) within the SAP-B domain of the prosaposin gene which leads to a frameshift and premature stop codon. In the heterozygous parents, mutant cDNA was detected by amplification refractory mutation analysis in the nuclear, but not the cytoplasmic, fraction of fibroblast RNA, indicating that the mutant mRNA was rapidly degraded. The storage process in the proband resembled that of a published case from an unrelated family. Saposins were also deficient in this case, leading to its reclassification as prosaposin deficiency, and her mother was found to be a carrier for the same c.803delG mutation. Both of the investigated families came from the same district of eastern Slovakia." ]

Glucocerebrosidase mutations among African-American patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.
[ "While the inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (Gaucher disease) is panethnic in its distribution, there have not been studies of the mutations encountered in specific ethnic groups in the United States, other than those on Ashkenazi Jews. We present the clinical descriptions and genotypes of seven patients of African-American ancestry with type 1 Gaucher disease, and summarize the published literature regarding the genotypes encountered in this population. All seven of the patients had moderate-to-severe manifestations of the disease, and all developed symptoms by adolescence. Genotypic analyses revealed that no two probands shared the same genotype. The common mutations N370S, c.84-85insG, IVS2+1 G-->A, and R463C were not seen. Mutation L444P was present on one allele in each of the patients; but the same mutation was encountered as a single point mutation in three of the patients, and as part of a recombinant allele in four of the patients. Southern blot analyses revealed a glucocerebrosidase fusion allele in one patient, and a duplication resulting from recombination in the region downstream from the glucocerebrosidase gene in three of the patients. Five different point mutations (A90T, R48W, N117D, R170C, and V352L), one deletion mutation (c.222-224 delTAC), and one insertion mutation (c.153-154 insTACAGC) were encountered. Our results demonstrate that there is significant genotypic heterogeneity among African-American patients with type 1 Gaucher disease, and that recombinations in the glucocerebrosidase gene locus are particularly common in this patient group.

Neurological features in Gaucher's disease during enzyme replacement therapy.
[ "This report describes two patients with Gaucher's disease who had unusual clinical symptoms during enzyme replacement therapy. One patient was a female with type 3 Gaucher's disease. She developed a pericardial effusion at 7 y of age, which contained many Gaucher cells despite enzyme replacement therapy. She died from neurological deterioration during enzyme replacement therapy, despite an improvement in her visceral manifestations. The other patient is a male with type 2 Gaucher's disease, who has achieved long-term survival after being supported by mechanical ventilation and enzyme replacement therapy. While on enzyme replacement therapy at the age of 4 y, he suffered a generalized cutaneous disease which was clinically diagnosed as ichthyosis.", "These cases suggest that ordinary enzyme replacement therapy is insufficient for some of the non-neurological manifestations of severe types of Gaucher's disease." ]

Adult Gaucher disease in association with primary malignant bone tumors.
[ "Malignant neoplastic disorders are more common in patients with Gaucher disease (GD) than in the general population. Very few cases of primary malignant bone tumors in association with GD have been reported to date. Thus, the recommendations for an adequate therapy are often based on limited professional experience. To their knowledge, the authors report the first case of a leiomyosarcoma of the bone in a patient with GD and report another patient with GD and an anaplastic large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with localized osseous manifestation. A review of the literature is included.", "The clinical, radiologic, and histologic data of the authors' two patients who had GD and primary malignant bone tumor are presented. Epidemiologic data, clinical data, and treatment results from published reports of 18 patients who had GD and various malignancies and the authors' 2 patients were compared and evaluated.", "Radiographic examination showed a destructive osteolytic lesion in a case of a leiomyosarcoma of the bone and in a case of anaplastic, large-cell, non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In both cases, the bone marrow architecture was partially effaced by sheets of large histiocytic cells with striated or fibrillary cytoplasm. In both patients, chemotherapy was performed. Whereas the patient who had the leiomyosarcoma showed poor recovery of the bone marrow that necessitated withdrawal of aggressive chemotherapy, the patient who had non-Hodgkin lymphoma and enzyme therapy tolerated the chemotherapy well. In spite of local control after preoperative radiotherapy and hemipelvectomy, the first patient developed lung metastases and finally died. The second patient was continuously free of disease at a follow-up examination 32 months after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In a total of 20 patients who had malignant disorders and GD, the numbers of males and females were equivalent, and the mean age was 55 years. Approximately 33% presented with a cancer originating in the bone. In 16 patients, follow-up data were available. Of these, after a mean follow-up of 36 months (range, few days-108 mos), only 2 patients were continuously free of disease, and one patient was alive with disease. The other patients had died of disease or hemorrhagic complications of GD.", "Because there is a relatively high incidence of malignant disorders of the bone, the study suggested that malignant disorders have to be included in the differential diagnosis of painful lytic lesions in patients who have GD. Evaluation of the expense and value of enzyme therapy to patients who have GD should be undertaken with regard to the incidence of malignant disorders and patient survival." ]

Three Gaucher-disease-producing mutations in a patient with Gaucher disease: mechanism and diagnostic implications.
[ "As Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, most patients are either homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for glucocerebrosidase mutations. We have encountered a patient with three mutations, two c.1226A-->G (1226G, N370S) and one c.1448 T-->C (1448C, L444P). This was shown to be due to a gene conversion event in which the sequence of the glucocerebrosidase pseudogene that includes the 1448C mutation had been imposed on a glucocerebrosidase gene that already had the 1226G mutation. The patient had relatively mild disease which had been discovered after an attack of infectious mononucleosis, a relationship that has been observed previously. If it had not been recognized that this patient had the 1226G/1226G,1448C genotype, prenatal testing might have falsely identified a 1226G,1448C/wt (wild type) fetus as having Gaucher disease." ]

Coincidence of Gaucher's disease due to a 1226G/1448C mutation and of an immunoglobulin G lambda multiple myeloma with Bence-Jones proteinuria.
[ "We report about a 58-year-old female with coexisting type-I Gaucher's disease (GD) and multiple myeloma (MM). The diagnosis of GD was made in early childhood by means of bone marrow biopsy and was recently confirmed by analysis of the patient's genomic DNA for the underlying glucocerebrosidase mutations and the identification of the 1226G/1448C genotype. At the age of 24 years, the patient developed massive splenomegaly. Therefore, a splenectomy was performed. No further therapy was necessary for the next 34 years until 1999 when progressive anemia and thrombocytopenia occurred. Additional laboratory analysis revealed high serum protein and immunoglobulin (Ig) G levels and evidence of monoclonal gammopathy and lambda light-chain proteinuria, indicating plasma cell dyscrasia. This diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of osteolytic lesions in skeletal X-rays and a bone marrow biopsy showing an extensive infiltration with Gaucher cells and an increase of plasma cells, which expressed lambda light chains. When examined by means of electron microscopy, typical Gaucher cells, i.e., histiocytes containing tubular-structured cytoplasmatic material and spots of plasma cells with an increase of the endoplasmic reticulum, were found. GD associated with acquired MM has been described 13 times in the literature from 1968 to 1997. Only three of the patients were suffering from IgG myeloma. This distribution of the monoclonal component is in contrast to that of patients suffering from MM alone." ]

[ "Gaucher disease is the most prevalent sphingolipid storage disorder in humans caused by a recessively inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. More than 100 mutations have been described in the glucocerebrosidase gene causing Gaucher disease. Some of them are complex alleles with several mutations due to recombination events between the gene and its highly homologous pseudogene. The generation of these recombinant alleles involves, in most cases, a crossover in the 3' end of the gene, beyond exon 8. However, in a few cases recombination took place in a more upstream location. Here we describe the analysis of a patient with type I Gaucher disease who bears a new complex allele. This allele was originated by a crossover between the gene and the pseudogene at intron 2, the most upstream recombination site described so far, which gave rise to a fusion gene. The patient was first diagnosed as homozygous for the c.1226 A --> G (N370S) mutation but the early onset of the disease prompted us to perform parental DNA analysis which showed that the mother was not a N370S carrier, suggesting deletion of at least part of the gene. Molecular analysis of the complex allele was carried out by Southern blot, PCR, and sequencing. We were able to close down the region of the recombination event to an interval of 18 nucleotides, corresponding to the last 15 nucleotides of intron 2 and the first 3 nucleotides of exon 3 of the gene. These 18 nucleotides are identical between the gene and pseudogene making any further refinement impossible. An exhaustive list of published glucocerebrosidase complex alleles, describing their recombination points, is included for comparison." ]

Niemann-Pick disease type C: two cases and an update.
[ "We describe two patients with juvenile-onset Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) to illustrate the variable neurologic features of this condition. One presented with hypersplenism at age 10 and was misdiagnosed with Gaucher disease. He developed complex partial seizures in his teens but remained otherwise neurologically asymptomatic until his mid 30s. At age 45, he had mild dementia and dysarthria, vertical supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and cerebellar ataxia. The second patient presented with rapidly progressive dystonia at age 8, and mild hepatosplenomegaly, vertical supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, severe behavioral disorder, and dementia by age 14. The diagnosis of NPC was based on deficient cholesterol esterification and excessive lysosomal filipin staining in cultured skin fibroblasts. Current notions about diagnosis and pathogenesis of NPC are reviewed." ]

Minute blood samples (<1 microL) were collected onto the filters via a simple lateral prick to the patient's finger, circumventing the need for intravenous blood puncture. Collected samples, which are stable at room temperature for several years, were subsequently sent through the postal system to the diagnostic laboratory, bypassing the stringent requirements of courier delivery. Using this method, we performed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and nucleotide sequence analysis on prevalent mutations among Canadian and Chinese Gaucher disease patients. Of the 12 alleles (six patients) analyzed, 42% (5/12) have the N370S mutation and 58% (7/12) the L444P mutation, the two most common alleles found among Jewish and non-Jewish Gaucher disease patients. Uniquely, a Chinese Gaucher disease patient was found to have an N370S mutation. Although the presence of the N370S mutation is regarded as common in other ethnic groups, previous to this report it had not been noted in an individual of Asian descent. PvuII polymorphism analysis showed that the N370S mutation found in the Chinese patient was linked to the Pv1.1(-) polymorphism, as has been previously seen in the Jewish population. The use of FTA((R)) filter paper facilitates access of samples to diagnostic centers, and therefore provides an effective means of performing population-based mutational analysis of Gaucher disease internationally." ]

Extraosseous manifestation of Gaucher's disease type I: MR and histological appearance.
[ "Gaucher's disease type I is the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorder caused by an autosomal-recessive inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase activity with secondary accumulation of glucocerebrosides within the lysosomes of macrophages. The storage disorder produces a multisystem disease characterized by progressive visceral enlargement and gradual replacement of bone marrow with lipid-laden macrophages. Skeletal disease is a major source of disability in Gaucher's disease. Extraosseous extension of Gaucher cells is an extremely rare manifestation of skeletal Gaucher's disease. This is a report on the MRI and histopathological findings of an extraosseous Gaucher-cell extension into the midface in a patient with Gaucher's disease." ]

Identification of a novel recombinant allele in three unrelated Italian Gaucher patients: implications for prognosis and genetic counseling.
[ "Gaucher disease (GD) results from deleterious mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene. The relatively high frequency of some of these, especially at cDNA nucleotide 1226G (N370S) and at cDNA nucleotide 1448C (L444P), has led to the development of rapid screening techniques that can sometimes be misleading. In this report, we describe a novel rearrangement between the glucocerebrosidase gene and its pseudogene, identified as a consequence of a discrepancy between the genotype, homozygous for the common 1226G mutation, of an Italian patient with type 1 Gaucher disease, and the absence of the 1226G allele in her daughter. Additional investigations went on to reveal a novel recombinant allele beginning in intron 6 and extending through the rest of the coding sequence. Italian GD patients found homozygous for a specific mutation or with one or both alleles still unknown were further investigated and the novel recombinant allele was identified in an adult type 1 patient previously genotyped 1226G/1226G and in a young patient with an unknown genotype. The detection of this allele in three unrelated GD patients originating from the same geographic area in central Italy suggested a founder effect. This study emphasizes the implications of an accurate genotyping for the prognostic value of glucocerebrosidase genotype and reliable genetic counseling." ]

Perinatal lethal form of Gaucher's disease presenting with hemosiderosis.
[ "A term infant with hydrops fetalis presented with hypotonia, massive splenomegaly, renal failure, and severe hyperferritinemia. Multiple organ failure, myoclonus, and opisthotonus ensued and she died at 15 days of age. High rounded forehead, large open fontanel, and a small recessed chin led to initial premortem diagnosis of Zellweger syndrome, but her plasma profile of long chain fatty acid was normal. Her subsequent clinical course and findings of postmortem examinations were consistent with perinatal lethal form of Gaucher's disease (PLGD). The diagnosis was confirmed by deficiency of enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase in white blood cells and in cultured fibroblasts. In addition to the crossover features of Zellweger phenotype, this infant exhibited a number of unusual features including, severe hyperferritinemia, rapid progression of splenomegaly, and absence of icthyosis." ]

Longterm follow-up of electroencephalographic and clinical findings of a case with Gaucher's disease type 3a.
[ "Among three recognised clinical phenotypes, type 3a Gaucher's disease is characterised by mild to severe systemic disease, neurological manifestations and myoclonic seizures. We report the long term clinical and electrophysiological follow-up of a 27-year old man with a diagnosis of type 3a Gaucher's disease, which was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy examination and leukocyte glucocerebrosidase level measurement. His neurological examination was normal throughout the follow-up period. EEG examination, recorded five days after the first seizure, revealed generalised nonrhythmic paroxysmal rapid spikes with occipital predominance increased by photic stimulation and normal background activity. The frequency of seizures increased from 3-4/year to 1-2/month within a follow-up period of 12 years and a repeat EEG examination on the eight year of diagnosis revealed additional background slowing.

Functional characterization of the novel mutation IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A) in the intron 8 of the glucocerebrosidase gene of two Italian siblings with Gaucher disease type I.
[ "Gaucher disease, the most common glycolipid storage disease, can be caused by a large variety of mutations. We report here the identification and characterization of a novel mutation in the human glucocerebrosidase gene, IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A), in two siblings with Gaucher disease type I which occurs within the 3' end of intron 8. Both siblings were compound heterozygotes for the IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A) mutation and for the c.626 G>C (R170P) substitution within exon 6. No mRNA species carrying the IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A) mutation were detected by RT-PCR analysis of the RNA extracted from the patients' fibroblasts. To study the possible effects of the IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A) sequence alteration on the splicing of the proximal exon 9, we have established an in vitro system generating a minigene carrying the genomic region of human glucocerebrosidase spanning from exon 8 to exon 10. Transfections into the human Hep3B cell line of the wild-type construct resulted in the expression of mRNA with the glucocerebrosidase exons correctly spliced. On the contrary, transfections of the construct carrying the IVS 8 (-11delC) (-14T>A) mutation resulted in the expression of mRNA with an 11-bp insertion located between the end of exon 8 and the beginning of exon 9. These results indicated that the 5243T>A substitution created a new 3' splice site 11 bp upstream of the wild-type one, leading to the incorporation into the mRNA of these extra 11 bases. Moreover, the new 3' splice site created by this 5243T>A transversion was preferred over the wild-type one in 100% of cases. The in vitro studies suggest that, in the patients, the 11-bp inclusion causes a shift in the reading frame with the generation of a stop codon after codon 388 which undergoes early degradation." ]

Identification of Gaucher cells in the chorionic villi associated with recurrent hydrops fetalis.
[ "Recurrent non-immune hydrops fetalis has rarely been reported. In order to detect the risk of recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy, one should carefully consider the possibility of an inborn error of metabolism. In such cases, placental examination may be useful in detecting such metabolic storage disorders in the fetus, which usually present as vacuolization of placental cells. We describe a rare case of recurrent hydrops that was detected by placental examination. Through light microscopy, electron microscope (EM) studies and beta-glucocerebrosidase activity the disease was identified as Gaucher's disease." ]

Surgical management of spinal involvement in children and adolescents with Gaucher's disease.
[ "Gaucher's disease is an uncommon hereditary glycolipid storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of glucocerebroside in the lysosomes of macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. Skeletal manifestations are variable in severity and typically involve the long bones. Vertebral involvement is less well characterized, particularly in children and adolescents. We report on the surgical management of spinal involvement in four children and adolescents with Gaucher's disease; two for kyphotic deformity and two for kyphotic deformity associated with neurologic compromise. We recommend anterior spinal release with fusion and posterior spinal fusion with segmental instrumentation in cases of kyphotic deformity. In cases of spinal cord compromise at the apex of the kyphotic deformity with retropulsion of involved bone, anterior decompression also should be performed. Routine surveillance for spinal deformity in patients with Gaucher's disease is necessary to allow early intervention before the development of severe deformity and neurologic compromise." ]

Ultrasound, abdominal computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed massive splenomegaly with multiple splenic nodules up to 7 cm in diameter. Splenic nodules should be included in the differential diagnosis of splenic masses. Follow-up is necessary because of the increased incidence of hematologic malignancies in Gaucher disease." ]

Life-threatening splenic hemorrhage in two patients with Gaucher disease.
[ "Massive splenomegaly is a frequent finding in patients with Gaucher disease, the most common of the sphingolipidoses. Even so, the risk for splenic rupture and intracapsular hemorrhage has not been emphasized due to the rarity of this occurrence and the fibrotic, rubbery consistency of splenic tissue in these patients.

Extraordinary bone involvement in a gaucher disease type I patient.
[ "We report on a 63-year-old patient with Gaucher disease type I who developed severe bone involvement with destructive lesions and huge soft tissue extension in both humeri that appeared to evolve slowly. The clinical course and histopathological findings in our patient suggested a progressive extraosseous extension of the storage cells into the soft tissue, accompanied by a striking increase of fibrotic tissue and resulting in an impressive deformity. The extraordinary bone involvement in this patient expands our knowledge on the most severe skeletal complications of untreated Gaucher disease." ]

Massive hepatic fibrosis in Gaucher's disease: clinico-pathological and radiological features.
[ "Hepatomegaly is frequent in patients with type 1 Gaucher's disease and is associated with infiltration of the liver with pathological macrophages. Most patients suffer no significant clinical consequences, but a few develop portal hypertension which may progress to parenchymal liver failure. We describe four patients with Gaucher's disease who have developed portal hypertension. We have reviewed their clinical histories and all available histological and radiological material. All had severe Gaucher's disease with multi-organ involvement, and had undergone splenectomy in childhood. Histologically, this advanced liver disease was characterized by a picture of extreme and advanced confluent fibrosis occupying the central region of the liver. This massive fibrosis is associated with characteristic radiological appearances. The liver histology in these cases is highly unusual and virtually unknown in other conditions. Our studies indicate that without specific treatment the liver disease is progressive and rapidly fatal. However, institution of enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase may have beneficial effects even when the condition is far advanced." ]

[An adult form of type-I. Gaucher's disease].
[ "A young woman with no previous history of any diseases was admitted for further evaluation of a mild thrombocytopenia she has had for some months. No signs of bleeding have so far occurred. Physical examination was normal except for a moderately enlarged spleen. Routine investigations showed lower platelet count. There was no laboratory evidence of disease conditions with autoimmune/inflammatory or hematologic origin. Bone marrow aspirate indicated Gaucher's-like cells raising the suspicion of Gaucher's disease. This was further supported by electron microscopic demonstration of Gaucher's bodies (with the characteristic tubular structures) in crista biopsy specimens. However, definitive diagnosis was obtained by verifying deficient lysosomal glucosylceramide-beta-D-glucosidase activity in peripheral blood leukocytes. Upon the absence of neurologic involvement the patient was typical for the adult form or type-1 Gaucher's disease." ]

Severe type II Gaucher disease with ichthyosis, arthrogryposis and neuronal apoptosis: molecular and pathological analyses.
[ "Severe infantile Gaucher disease associated with ichthyosis and neonatal death is a rare subgroup of Type II Gaucher disease. This group of infants has little, if any, detectable beta-glucocerebrosidase activity, and prior genetic analyses have been limited in detecting the mutations responsible for this phenotype. We document an Hispanic infant succumbing with arthrogryposis and collodion membrane covering the skin who had no detectable beta-glucocerebrosidase activity in tissue samples and who was homozygous for a rare recombinant allele, RecNciI. Microscopic evaluation demonstrated accumulation of Gaucher cells in visceral organs and extensive loss of neurons in the anterior horns, brainstem, and cortex of the nervous system. The apoptosis of neuronal cells from the anterior horns and brainstem are a reasonable explanation for the arthrogryposis and neonatal death, respectively." ]

Avascular necrosis. A case history and literature review.
[ "We describe a patient with avascular necrosis in both shoulders. Confirmatory testing in making the diagnosis included plain radiography, bone scan, and magnetic resonance imaging. The pathogenesis and staging of the disease by radiography are presented in the article. Treatment options include a conservative regimen of shoulder range of motion exercises and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents or surgery (arthroplasty or core decompression). The patient's risk factors include long-term corticosteroid use, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Other known risk factors include sickle cell disease, Gaucher disease, chemotherapy, lymphoma, dysbaric conditions, and trauma.

Myoclonus from selective dentate nucleus degeneration in type 3 Gaucher disease.
[ "To describe a case with a new genetic variant of type 3 Gaucher disease presenting with stimulus-sensitive and action myoclonus in the presence of selective dentate abnormalities.", "Clinical, pathologic, and molecular genetic studies.", "Medical school departments.", "A 6-year-old girl with type 3 Gaucher disease experienced progressively crippling generalized stimulus-sensitive and action myoclonus. Repeated electroencephalographic examination did not show cortical activity associated with the myoclonus, suggesting its subcortical origin. Neuropathological examination revealed selective degeneration of the cerebellar dentate nucleus and dentatorubrothalamic pathway in the face of essentially complete lack of storage in the brain. Mutation analysis identified the following 2 mutant alleles: one with a V394L mutation and the other with the lesion RecTL (D409H + L444P + A456P + V460V), which resulted from a recombination event, with the pseudogene located 16 kilobases downstream from the structural gene.", "Given the restricted abnormalities, this genetically unique case provides insight into the pathogenesis of myoclonus and suggests a prominent role for the cerebellar dentate nucleus in its genesis." ]

Novel point mutation (W184R) in neonatal type 2 Gaucher disease.
[ "Gaucher disease is the most prevalent inherited sphingolipidosis and results from deficient glucocerebrosidase activity. Three clinical forms of Gaucher disease have been described: type 1, or non-neuronopathic; type 2, or acute neuronopathic; and type 3, or subacute neuronopathic. We have identified a novel mutation in a patient of Russian-British descent who died of type 2 Gaucher disease a few hours after birth. A heterozygous T --> C transition mutation in exon 6, cDNA nucleotide position 667, results in the substitution of tryptophan by arginine at amino acid residue 184 (W184R) of glucocerebrosidase. This mutation creates a new cleavage site for the restriction endonuclease Hinf1. We developed a method that utilizes Hinf1 restriction endonuclease analysis to confirm the presence of the mutation and test family members. The second mutation identified in the other glucocerebrosidase allele of the patient is mutation L444P, a severe mutation frequent in type 2 and 3 Gaucher disease. Since the patient died very shortly after birth, we postulate that the W184R/L444P genotype may result in little or no detectable glucocerebrosidase activity and thus a poor prognosis." ]

Type 2 Gaucher disease: the collodion baby phenotype revisited.
[ "The association of Gaucher disease, the inherited deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (EC 3.2.1.45), and congenital ichthyosis was first noted a decade ago. Subsequently, a null allele type 2 Gaucher mouse was generated that also exhibited ichthyotic skin, confirming that the skin disorder and enzyme deficiency were directly related. This paper details the clinical and molecular characterisation of 6 cases of type 2 Gaucher disease presenting with the collodion baby phenotype. The identified mutant glucocerebrosidase alleles include two novel mutations (S196P and R131L) and two rare point mutations (R120W and R257Q), as well as alleles resulting from recombination with the nearby glucocerebrosidase pseudogene. There is significant genotypic heterogeneity in this rare subset of patients with type 2 Gaucher disease. Gaucher disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of congenital ichthyosis in the newborn period." ]

Additionally, the thoracic spine and the midface were investigated on MRI in two patients.", "Four cases are presented in which patients with Gaucher disease type I and severe skeletal involvement developed destruction or protrusion of the cortex with extraosseous extension into soft tissues.

Gaucher disease with oculomotor apraxia and cardiovascular calcification (Gaucher type IIIC).
[ "The authors describe four siblings from consanguineous parents who presented with oculomotor deficit in early childhood characterized by impaired volitional horizontal saccades, compensatory lateral head thrust, and preservation of vertical movement. When about 10 years of age, heavily calcified aortic and mitral valves required surgery. Fibroblast beta-glucocerebrosidase activity was markedly reduced. Genotype analysis indicated that the two patients who were tested were homozygous for the D409H (1342G-->C) mutation.

Systemic AL amyloidosis in Gaucher disease. A case report and review of the literature.
[ "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 AL amyloidosis diagnosed by bone marrow diffuse plasmacytosis, serum monoclonal IgA-lambda, severe total proteinuria with monoclonal IgA-lambda, Bence-Jones-lambda and amyloid deposits in bone marrow, liver, spleen and kidney biopsy specimens. Treatment with melphalan and prednizolon has dramatically decreased both levels of serum M-IgA and proteinuria and also improved the clinical symptoms of amyloidosis. He died from restrictive cardiac disease 30 months after the diagnosis of amyloidosis. Previously reported cases of GD in association with AL amyloidosis are reviewed." ]

Hepatosplenomegalic lipidosis: what unless Gaucher? Adult cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) with anemia, mesenteric lipodystrophy, increased plasma chitotriosidase activity and a homozygous lysosomal acid lipase -1 exon 8 splice junction mutation.
[ "A 36-year-old woman was admitted for hepatosplenomegaly and anemia. Bone marrow cytology showed \"sea-blue histiocytes\", vacuolated macrophages and plasma cells. As primary liver disease, malignancy or hematologic disorders were excluded, and plasma chitotriosidase activity was increased 27-fold over control, the presence of a lysosomal storage disease was suspected. Biochemical analysis of skin fibroblasts revealed normal glucocerebrosidase and sphingomyelinase activity, but lipid analysis showed a more than 15-fold accumulation of cholesterol esters within the cells. The activity of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) in fibroblast homogenates was decreased to 12% of control subjects. Mutational analysis of the patient's blood showed the homozygous G-->A mutation at position -1 of the exon 8 splice donor site (E8SJM-allele) known for adult cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD); the polymorphic background was that of the complex haplotype -6Thr, 2Gly, 894 G-->A. Based on clinical, laboratory, cytological and and biochemical findings, CESD can clearly be separated from other more frequent inherited lysosomal storage diseases, e.g. atypical forms of Gaucher disease." ]

Intracellular transport of acid beta-glucosidase and lysosome-associated membrane proteins is affected in Gaucher's disease (G202R mutation).
[ "Gaucher's disease (GD) is caused by an inherited deficiency of acid beta-glucosidase with storage of glucosylceramides in the lysosomes of macrophages. This study identifies a G202R mutation in the acid beta-glucosidase gene in an infant with severe neuronopathic (type 2) GD and only slightly reduced acid beta-glucosidase activity. Western blot analysis, pulse chase experiments, and the thin frozen section immunogold method were used to analyse the implications of this mutation on the pathogenesis, clinical heterogeneity and diagnostic evaluation of GD. The results show that acid beta-glucosidase persists in the patient's fibroblasts as a mannose-rich polypeptide in the endoplasmic reticulum and is not transported to the lysosomes. By contrast, high expression of the lysosome-associated membrane proteins LAMP-1 and LAMP-2, saposin C, and cathepsin D was observed in the patient's lysosomes. Immunogold labelling of the integral membrane proteins LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 increases significantly at the cell surface of Kupffer cells and fibroblasts as well as at the apical membrane of hepatocytes. In addition, LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 associate with the bilayer of stored glucosylceramide. It is concluded that defective intracellular transport of mutant acid beta-glucosidase from the endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes leads to a more severe clinical phenotype than the residual enzyme activity may indicate. Furthermore, the detection of LAMP in the tubular bundles of undigested glucosylceramides, as well as their increased concentration at the surfaces of the affected cells, suggests that these proteins play a role in the storage or removal of substrate in GD.
