    Author: Di Rocco M, Andria G, Deodato F, Giona F, Micalizzi C, Pession A.
    Journal: Pediatr Blood Cancer; 2014 Nov; 61(11):1905-9. PubMed ID: 25131373.
    Abstract:
    Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by an enzyme deficiency that leads to the accumulation of glycolipids in various organs. Although the signs and symptoms of GD emerge in childhood in the majority of patients, the disease often remains unrecognized for many years with delay of benefits of therapy or development of irreversible complications. Based on published data and data from the International Collaborative Gaucher Group Registry, an algorithm has been drafted for early diagnosis of GD in pediatric patients. It will help hematologists in promoting a timely diagnosis and early access to therapy for pediatric patients with GD.
