Assessment of cellular cobalamin metabolism in Gaucher disease
(2020) [Artigo de periódico]Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic mutations in the GBA1 gene that encodes beta-glucosidase (GCase), and more rarely, by a deficiency in the GCase activator, saposin C. ... -
A Brazilian rare-disease center’s experience with glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1) in patients with Gaucher Disease : exploring a novel correlation with IgG levels in plasma and a biomarker measurement in CSF
(2024) [Artigo de periódico]Gaucher disease (GD, OMIM 230800) is one of the most common lysosomal disorders, being caused by the deficient activity of the enzyme acid β-glucocerebrosidase (Gcase). Three clinical forms of Gaucher’s disease (GD) are ... -
A charitable access program for patients with lysosomal storage disorders in underserved communities worldwide
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]Background: Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are rare genetic disorders, with heterogeneous clinical manifesta‑ tions and severity. Treatment options, such as enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), substrate replacement ... -
Difficulties in the diagnosis of Gaucher disease in a low-income country : a case report from Mozambique
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]Introduction: Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the common lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) with an estimated frequency of one in 40,000 newborns globally. GD is an autosomal recessive condition, which results from mutations ... -
Effects of imiglucerase on the growth and metabolism of Gaucher disease type I patients : a systematic review
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]Background: Gaucher disease (GD) type I is the most common type of GD. Its main clinical manifestations are hepatosplenomegaly as well as bone and hematological abnormalities. The objective of the present study was to ... -
Elevated holo-transcobalamin in Gaucher disease type II : a case report
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]Gaucher disease (GD), one of the most common lysosomal disorders, is caused by deficiency of β-glucocerebrosidase. Based on the presence and severity of neurological complications, GD is classified into types I, II (the ... -
Follow-up of pre-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in adult patients with Gaucher disease type 1 and analysis of their lysosomal enzyme profiles in the CSF
(2023) [Artigo de periódico]Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. Its classic motor symptoms may be preceded by non-motor symptoms (NMS). Population studies have identified GBA variants ... -
Histomorphometric analysis of liver biopsies of treated patients with Gaucher disease type 1
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder caused by a disturbance in the metabolism of glucocerebroside in the macrophages. Most of its manifestations – hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, ... -
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the standard of care for patients with lysosomal storage diseases : a survey of healthcare professionals in the Fabry, Gaucher, and Hunter Outcome Survey registries

Neonatal screening for four lysosomal storage diseases with a digital microfluidics platform: initial results in Brazil
(2018) [Artigo de periódico]We describe the initial results of a neonatal screening program for four lysosomal storage diseases (MPS I, Pompe, Gaucher and Fabry) using the digital microfluidics methodology. The method successfully identified patients ... -
A new glucocerebrosidase-deficient neuronal cell model provides a tool to probe pathophysiology and therapeutics for Gaucher disease
(2016) [Artigo de periódico]Glucocerebrosidase is a lysosomal hydrolase involved in the breakdown of glucosylceramide. Gaucher disease, a recessive lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by mutations in the gene GBA1. Dysfunctional glucocerebrosidase ... -
