Summary
The purpose of this study is to better understand the natural history, clinical outcomes, and biological features of Gaucher disease in patients receiving standard medical care
Detailed Description
To define clinical trajectories, biomarkers, and mechanistic correlates of persistent or progressive disease in patients with Gaucher disease receiving standard-of-care therapy. Type 1 Gaucher Disease (Non-Neuronopathic) (GD1) Type 2 Gaucher Disease (Acute Neuronopathic) (GD2) Type 3 Gaucher Disease (Chronic Neuronopathic) (GD3) Specific Aim 1 To characterize pulmonary disease and massive lymphadenopathy in patients with neuronopathic Gaucher disease (GD2-GD3) under standard-of-care therapy. Specific Aim 2 To define determinants of refractory skeletal disease in Gaucher disease using longitudinal clinical observation integrated with patient-derived cellular models. Specific Aim 3 To investigate Gaucher-Parkinson overlap as a model of lipid-mediated neurodegeneration using parallel clinical and mechanistic analyses
