Gaucher Disease Type 3

GD3

This profile was similar to that in the patient's lungs, suggesting that these lipids were present in brain perivascular macrophages. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients with type 2 disease may present at birth or during infancy with increased tone, seizures, strabismus, and organomegaly. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The treatment of Gaucher disease at present is mainly by enzyme replacement therapy which is expensive. In some severe cases HSCT is used to treat people with Gaucher disease. [cochranelibrary.com]

  • Fatigue

    They may also have chronic fatigue, hepatomegaly (with or without abnormal liver function test findings), bone pain, or pathologic fractures and may bruise easily because of thrombocytopenia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Due to these abnormal cells people with Gaucher disease will have pain, fatigue, anemia, jaundice and bone damage. Some forms of Gaucher disease may also cause neurological damage. [cochranelibrary.com]

  • Lymphadenopathy

    A Caucasian male with Gaucher disease type 3, treated with continuous enzyme therapy (ET) for 11 years, experienced progressive mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, lung disease, and neurological involvement leading to death at an age of 12.5 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hepatomegaly

    They may also have chronic fatigue, hepatomegaly (with or without abnormal liver function test findings), bone pain, or pathologic fractures and may bruise easily because of thrombocytopenia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Retinal Lesion

    Intraocular lesions (e.g. corneal clouding, retinal lesions, and vitreous opacities) have been infrequently reported in GD type 3 (GD3). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    This profile was similar to that in the patient's lungs, suggesting that these lipids were present in brain perivascular macrophages. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    One non‐randomised study has suggested that HSCT may be more effective than ERT at currently used dosage levels, in reducing total body stores of glucocerebroside ( Young 1997 ). [cochranelibrary.com]

  • Seizure

    Symptoms include mental deterioration, ataxia, and myoclonic seizures. The cause of Gaucher disease III is the accumulation of a fatty material called glucocerebroside (also known as glucosylceramide) Treatment includes enzyme replacement therapy. [gii.co.jp]

    Patients with type 2 disease may present at birth or during infancy with increased tone, seizures, strabismus, and organomegaly. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    The neurological symptoms seen in types 2 and 3 include oculomotor apraxia (difficulty moving the eyes), opisthotonus (extreme backward arching of the spine), bulbar signs (problems with breathing, swallowing and talking) and seizures ( Beutler 2001 ; [cochranelibrary.com]

  • Apraxia

    Failure to thrive, swallowing abnormalities, oculomotor apraxia, hepatosplenomegaly, and stridor due to laryngospasm are typical in infants with type 2 disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    The neurological symptoms seen in types 2 and 3 include oculomotor apraxia (difficulty moving the eyes), opisthotonus (extreme backward arching of the spine), bulbar signs (problems with breathing, swallowing and talking) and seizures ( Beutler 2001 ; [cochranelibrary.com]

See Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Chitotriosidase Increased

    Hb decreased in four patients, PLT decreased in three patients, chitotriosidase increased in three patients (max. 22 % of baseline), and CCL18/PARC increased in six patients ( 14 % to 57 %). The body weight was moderately decreased in one patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Measures of treatment effect In future updates, if we are able to include any trials, for dichotomous outcomes, we plan to estimate treatment effects using the risk ratio (RR). [cochranelibrary.com]

The prognosis of type 3 Gaucher disease depends on the severity of disease and age of onset of therapy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Alternatively DNA analysis can be used to diagnose Gaucher disease and also to establish a disease prognosis ( Beutler 2006 ). Description of the intervention The treatment of Gaucher disease before the 1990s was essentially symptomatic. [cochranelibrary.com]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Type 1 Gaucher disease more common among Jewish people of Eastern European origin; the carrier frequency in these individuals is approximately 1 per 15 population, whereas the disease frequency is 1 per 855 population [emedicine.medscape.com]

The pathophysiological feature of Gaucher disease is the presence of Gaucher cells derived from the monocyte‐macrophage system. [cochranelibrary.com]

Pathophysiology Glucosylceramide, the accumulated glycolipid, is primarily derived from the phagocytosis and degradation of senescent leukocytes and erythrocyte membranes. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This compound inhibits glucosylceramide synthase, preventing new synthesis of glucosylceramide. The clinical trials show it is effective in most people with mild and stable disease, but is less well‐tolerated. [cochranelibrary.com]
