Added comment: Gaucher disease type 1 can present at any age.

GD is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of glucocerebrosidase which results in the multisystemic accumulation of glucosylceramide-laden macrophages (Gaucher cells) in various tissues: spleen, liver, bone marrow, bone mineral, and less often the lungs, skin, eyes, kidneys, lymphatic system, and heart. The spectrum of clinical manifestations and symptoms includes hepatosplenomegaly (HSM), abdominal discomfort and distension, skeletal disease (e.g., bone pain, osteopenia, bone infarct, osteonecrosis, pathological fractures), cytopenia (e.g., thrombocytopenia, anemia), fatigue, excessive bleeding, increased risk of infections, cardiovascular complications, and pulmonary disease.

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant glucocerebrosidase (imiglucerase, velaglucerase, or taliglucerase) is the current standard of care for symptomatic individuals with GD type 1.
