Gaucher disease is a rare inherited enzyme deficiency disorder, symptoms range from mild to severe and can appear at any time, from infancy to old age. The most common form of Gaucher disease is type 1 and affects 1 in 100,000 of the general population. In the rare neuronopathic (types 2 and 3) Gaucher disease, neurological symptoms occur.
