Gaucher disease
MONDO:0018150Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder encompassing three main forms (types 1, 2 and 3), a fetal form and a variant with cardiac involvement (Gaucher disease - ophthalmoplegia - cardiovascular calcification or Gaucher-like disease).
Also known as: Gaucher disease, Gaucher syndrome, acid beta-glucosidase deficiency, glucocerebrosidase deficiency, glucocerebrosidosis, glucosylceramidase deficiency, glucosylceramide beta-glucosidase deficiency, lipoid histiocytosis (kerasin type)
