Understanding Gaucher Disease

Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down a specific type of fat molecule called glucocerebroside. Without enough of this enzyme, glucocerebroside accumulates in various organs and tissues, leading to a wide range of symptoms, including enlarged liver and spleen, bone pain, fatigue, and anemia.
