What does this test Gaucher Disease Gene Analysis Test identify?

The Gaucher Disease Gene Analysis Test identifies mutations in the GBA gene, which is responsible for encoding the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Mutations in this gene can lead to a deficiency in this enzyme, causing a buildup of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside in certain organs and tissues.

Why is this test Gaucher Disease Gene Analysis Test taken?

Why is the Gaucher Disease Gene Analysis Test taken?

The Gaucher Disease Gene Analysis Test is taken to diagnose Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down a certain type of fat. This test is typically recommended for individuals who are showing symptoms of Gaucher disease, such as enlarged liver or spleen, bone pain, and easy bruising.

The test looks for mutations in the GBA gene, which is responsible for producing an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. Mutations in this gene can lead to a deficiency in this enzyme, causing a buildup of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside in various organs and tissues.

By identifying mutations in the GBA gene, healthcare providers can confirm a diagnosis of Gaucher disease and provide appropriate treatment and management options for affected individuals.
