In the name of GOD
EPIDEMIOLOGY

One of the most common lysosomal storage diseases.

1 in 75,000 births worldwide.

Type 1 GD (non neuropathic) is the most prevalent and occurs with
greater frequency in the Ashkenazi-Jewish population.

Types 2( acute neuronopathic) and 3 (subacute or juvenile
neuronopathic )are less common and occur in all ethnic types.
PATHOGENESIS

Deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase
glucosylceramidase or acid beta-glucosidase).

A glycoprotein enzyme whose major substrate is glucocerebroside, a
component of the cell membrane.

In the normal lysosome, the protein saposin C is thought to present
glucocerebroside to GBA and thereby activate the enzyme .
PATHOGENESIS

Deficiency of GBA leads to accumulation of glucocerebroside in the
lysosomes of macrophages .

The deacylated form of glucosylceramide, glucosylsphingosine, is
elevated in neuronopathic disease( role in the pathogenesis of
neurodegeneration) .
PATHOGENESIS


Impaired recycling of cellular glycolipids.
Glucocerebroside (glucosylceramide) that are ordinarily degraded to
glucose and lipid components accumulate within the lysosomes of cells.
PATHOGENESIS

The clinical manifestations result from the accumulation of the lipidladen macrophages in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, bone, and
other tissues/organs.

Gaucher cells and neighboring macrophages overexpress and
secrete lysosomal proteases( cathepsins), and inflammatory
mediators(IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,MIP,ect).
PATHOGENESIS
Several pathologic processes within bone:

Decreased mineral density

Marrow infiltration

Infarction of bone

Abnormal osteoclast regulation

Overproduction of cytokines by activated macrophages
PATHOGENESIS

Marrow fibrosis and osteosclerosis ( localized loss of hematopoiesis).

Impaired primitive hematopoiesis and proliferation of mesenchymal
(cytopenias ).

Hypersplenism

Bone marrow infiltration with Gaucher cells

Impaired mesenchymal stem cells capacity to develop into osteoblasts .

Splenic sequestration and marrow failure. (Thrombocytopenia)
Gaucher cell
GENETICS

Autosomal recessive

Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene located on chromosome 1q21
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
GD1

Variable age of onset.

Some patients present between 12 and 24 months of age,

Others have no clinical signs until late adulthood.

Some individuals with this genotype remain asymptomatic throughout life.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Type 1 (GD1) :

Visceral involvement, bone disease, and bleeding .

Fatigue

Pubertal delay

Growth delay

Anemia

Thrombocytopenia,

Hepatosplenomegaly
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Developmental delay (type 2)

Subtle cognitive problems (type 3)

Nonimmune hydrops (type 2)

Congenital ichthyosis (type 2)

Strabismus or supranuclear gaze palsy (types 2 and 3)

Progressive dementia, ataxia, and myoclonus (type 3, rare)

Corneal opacity (type 3C, rare)

Cardiovascular calcification (type 3C)
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Visceral disease :

Splenomegaly is the most common presenting sign.

The spleen can be enlarged as much as 5 to 75 times its normal size .

Hepatomegaly is universal(less than spleen).

Hepatic fibrosis typically occurs, but hepatic failure, cirrhosis, and portal
hypertension are uncommon , except in splenectomized patients .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Visceral disease :

Hepatosplenomegaly may be asymptomatic or may be associated with
early satiety, abdominal complaints (distension, discomfort, pain), and/or
anemia and thrombocytopenia .

Thrombocytopenia may result in bleeding and easy bruising.

Splenic infarction occurs rarely and can present as acute abdominal pain.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Bone marrow disease

Anemia, thrombocytopenia, or rarely leukopenia may be present
simultaneously.

The degree of anemia and thrombocytopenia is related to whether or not they
have had splenectomy.

Thrombocytopenia is common in nonsplenectomized patients and occurs
prior to anemia and leukopenia.

Lymphopenia is detected more commonly than neutropenia at presentation
and may help differentiate GD1 from hematologic malignancy .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Skeletal disease

Diffuse bone pain

Osteonecrosis (proximal and distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal
humerus).

Osteolytic lesions

Pathologic fractures

Vertebral compression fractures

Fragility fractures
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Bone pain, bone crises, and severe radiologic bone disease were more
common among asplenic patients.

Bone crises were more common among patients diagnosed before age
10 years than after age 10 years .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Growth/development

Many affected children grow poorly and have delayed puberty .

50 percent of children with GD may have height ≤5 percentile for age and sex.

Most children with severe growth deficiency also have severe visceral involvement

Other causes of growth retardation should be evaluated in otherwise mildlyaffected children .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Enzyme-replacement therapy started before puberty improved growth and
appeared to normalize the onset of puberty.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Pulmonary disease:

Interstitial lung disease ( less common manifestation).

Hepatopulmonary syndrome( hypoxemia on standing) results from
abnormal vascular shunting with the lung ( usually occurs in
splenectomized patients ).
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Neurologic disease:



Neurologic manifestations, such as peripheral polyneuropathy, are
reported in GD1 even though it is "nonneuronopathic" .
Associated with Parkinson disease.
Parkinson is earlier in onset and less dopamine-responsive than nonGaucher-associated Parkinson disease .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Most patients with GD never develop Parkinson disease .

GBA mutations may only increase the risk in individuals who are otherwise
prone to developing Parkinson disease .
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Malignancy:

Increased rates of malignancies, particularly hematologic (lymphoma,
leukemia,multiple myeloma), have been reported .

Some patients have had multiple malignancies.
GD2

Acute, neuronopathic form of GD.

Early onset in the first year after birth .

Visceral involvement is extensive and severe.

May present with congenital ichthyosis( collodion baby) .

First sign of CNS disease : Oculomotor dysfunction( strabismus,
saccade,bulbar palsy or paresis ).

Severe hypertonia, rigidity, arching (opisthotonus),swallowing impairment,
and seizures.
GD3

Subacute or chronic neuronopathic form .

Later onset than GD2.

May have onset before age two years with very slow disease progression.

The distinction between type 2 and 3 is therefore often difficult.
GD3a




Progressive dementia, ataxia, myoclonus
Mild hepatosplenomegaly
Earlier development of neurologic symptoms (myoclonic seizures,
strabismus, and supranuclear gaze palsy.)
Bone involvement is variable.
GD3b



Extensive visceral and bone involvement.
Massive hepatosplenomegaly.
Progressive skeletal abnormalities ( kyphoscoliosis and barreled chest).

Supranuclear gaze palsy

Myoclonic seizures

Scanning (explosive) speech

Diminished intelligence
GD3c

Cardiovascular form

Supranuclear gaze palsy

Cardiovascular calcification

Visceral disease

Bone disease

Neurologic involvement can begin late, and progression is variable.
Perinatal-lethal form

A perinatal-lethal form (lethal in utero or in the newborn period) can
present as nonimmune hydrops .

GD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pregnancy loss
accompanied by severe hydrops.
LABORATORY FINDINGS


Gaucher cells (Macrophages filled with lipid material ): cardinal feature
Have a wrinkled tissue paper

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Common presenting features seen in all types :
LABORATORY FINDINGS


Acid phosphatase activity( the tartrate-resistant isoenzyme): elevated

Hyperferritinemia : common



Fibrous dysplasia

Niemann-Pick disease

Osteopetrosis


Erlenmeyer flask deformity
DIAGNOSIS

Reduced glucocerebrosidase activity in peripheral leukocytes.

Mutation analysis help predict clinical manifestations and identify
undiagnosed affected family members and heterozygote.

Fractures ,lytic lesions,osteopenia,osteonecrosis.

Marrow infiltration on MRI.
DIAGNOSIS

An ultramicro-fluorometric assay for diagnosis of GD from dried blood spots
on filter paper has been developed and may facilitate diagnostic efforts in
newborns and adults .
Bone marrow studies

The diagnosis is made when Gaucher cells are detected in the bone
marrow of patients who are being evaluated for splenomegaly, anemia, or
thrombocytopenia .

Bone marrow studies are not necessary to make the diagnosis.
Prenatal diagnosis

Enzyme analysis by CVS or amniocentesis

Obtaining a skin biopsy from the proband and assaying cultured skin
fibroblasts simultaneously with the prenatal sample is helpful in cases
where there may be significant residual enzymatic activity.

Knowledge of the DNA mutations in the proband or in the heterozygous
parents allows the use of DNA mutation analysis together with enzyme
analysis for prenatal diagnosis.

Mutation analysis is recommended as a confirmatory assay.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is also possible .
