Gauchers disease

Gaucher disease is an inherited condition (passed down through families). It is a lysosomal storage disorder, a type of disease that causes fatty substances to build up in the bone marrow, liver and spleen. The fatty substances (sphingolipids) weaken bones and enlarge the organs, so they can’t work like they should. There is no cure for Gaucher disease, but treatments can relieve symptoms and greatly improve quality of life.
